After receiving the results and seeing the charts, I have found out that the application would be used by a lot of people, especially young people in the age group of 12-27. This survey also allowed me to understand the market better by showing me what the users think of systems currently in charge. Without this survey I wouldnt know if the application would be viable in the market, which could had caused a lot of issues later on. The software used was, google forms, google drive, web browser (firefox). The reason I have used these packages of software was, because they are free to use and efficient for the job in hands.
