Time Capsules and Photo-Sharing Websites and Mobile Apps

 

This survey is being administered as part of a research project for a master's program in digital strategies and social media at the Annenberg School of Communications at the University of Southern California. It looks at the correlation between physical time capsule* participation and the use of online photo-sharing websites and mobile apps. Obtaining responses from a large and diverse group of people is essential to ensure the results are representative. The survey should take approximately 5-7 minutes to complete. All answers will be confidential. Responses will not be identified by individual. All responses will be compiled together and analyzed as a group. If you have any questions, please contact Petr Pronsati at pronsati@usc.edu. Thank you for your time.

*For the purposes of this survey, a time capsule is described as a collection of objects and information contributed by a group of people as a means of communication with a group of people (either that same group or a different group) in the future. Time capsules are often created as part of a ceremony or celebration (high school graduation, the bicentennial anniversary of a city, etc.). A time capsule is sealed and buried (or otherwise stored) with the intention of having it opened at a later date.
