My Television Survey

Recently I created a survey about the modern day television.  I went through my list of Facebook friends online and shared with 15 of them the link to my survey.

My survey questions included:

1. How many hours a week do you watch television? (options: 1,3,5,7,10)
2. How many televisions do you own in your house?(options: 1,2,3,4,5+)
3. What kind of television show would you be most likely to watch? (options: Jersey Shore, Spongebob Squarepants, NESN, True Blood, Frontline)
4. Do you feel as if television is a necessity? (options:yes, no)
5. What kind of television do you own: flat screen or box? (options: flat screen, box)

I discovered that while some of the results that came back were typical, some were also pretty surprising.
