I used to do a lot of reading on my computer, before switching to e-readers.
I am surprised that there seems to be a meh/hate split for audio instead of a love/hate split. I have hyperacusis, and auditory processing problems, and live in a painfully noisy neighborhood, so for me it's a definite hate, but I can imagine for some people it's the opposite. Maybe using a bulletin board causes some sampling bias. |

This was fun. Some of it confirms what I’d already assumed, particularly in the context of an internet forum. Sheer speculation as to what extent this skews the results. The age, for example, which is three quarters middle-aged and old - is that because readers tend to be codgers, or because forums mostly consist of codgers? Some of both, of course, but how much?
I think what most stuck out for me is that MR skews male. I reveal my own gender bias by saying that if one sex reads more than the other, I’d have thought it was female. Is it the technical aspect of MR? Is that a biased question? Are males simply more likely to answer polls? What did get an eyeroll from me are the answers that seemed to be uncomfortable with choosing European instead of white. But since there was a multiple choice option, I assume that some chose European and then other to define it. Why, I don’t know. Thanks, Uncle Robin. |

This woman looked at the survey and stopped to ponder the ambiguity of European. Was ancestry or culture the most important consideration? How similar is European and Canadian culture? ....
And then I realized that I had to continue with my day and by the time I returned the survey was closed. |
