Survey Questions and Methodology
Survey questions
The technology is changing a day to the other in modern society. The traditional inventions are being updated in a way that they take care of all the social classes, poor, rich, and the economy class. The traditional ironing mirror board had no clothes cabinet. The patent invention has analyzed the processes involved in making the ironing mirror board that has the clothes cabinet. The patent will, therefore, have the following survey questions.
- How much does it cost to make a simple ironing mirror board with the clothes cabinet?
- What are the basic procedures for making the ironing mirror board with the clothes cabinet?
- How long can it take to come up with the quality ironing mirror board?
- Suppose one commercializes the production of ironing mirror boards with the clothes cabinet, cam it compete for the old firms selling those without the clothes cabinet?
- What are some of the advantages of the new model of ironing mirror board over the traditional one?
- Does making the new ironing mirror board require technical skills?
- Do you see another update on the ironing mirror board soon?
- Is there any other person who has ever come up with a similar invention?
- Is it difficult for one to understand how the new model of ironing mirror board works?
- What are specific types of materials supposed to be used in making the new model of ironing mirror board?
The questions will be enough for one to understand everything concerning the ironing mirror board and get convinced on why the new one is better than the traditional one.
Methodology
Before coming up with the new invention in the ironing mirror board, several research methods were used. Most of the information that provided a clear idea about the project was from the secondary sources. The secondary sources used included books, journals, articles, websites, and other sources that seemed to be relevant to the invention. The total number of the secondary sources used was sixteen and was all about the inventions of the different models of ironing mirror boards. It took much time before coming up with the new model’s findings since I wanted to make it unique and quality than the previous ones. Every secondary source meant a lot of this invention. As I was going through the sources, I made sure that I noted down the important points and concepts which would help me when fixing the new invention and how I made it different from the others. Most of the secondary sources were about the traditional iron mirror boards, which had no clothes cabinet. There were around two sources which seemed to be close to the new invention I was to come up with about inserting the clothes cabinet under the ironing mirror board. The secondary sources played a broad role in coming up with a thought of designing the iron mirror board with the clothes cabinet and which would help the low-income earners. For me to get enough information about my topic, I have to commit a lot of my time in the library and other study rooms to ensure that I would come up with a reliable invention.
The primary data collection technique was also applied. The primary data collection methods included observations, surveying, and the face to face interviews. I visited more than three factories where the ironing mirror boards are manufactured. In every factory I visited, I ensured that I had observed new skills that I would use in inserting the clothes cabinet in the ironing mirror board. I interviewed several workers from those factories who helped me understand the various procedures in making the iron mirror board. I also visited various supermarkets and the shopping centers to look at the ironing mirror boards which exist in the market. By observing their designs, I was able to note down their physical appearance, their applications, and how they are connected. I also went through several manual procedures of the already made iron board mirrors. After carrying out my investigations about the boards from the shopping malls, and the factories, I recorded down the equipment needed and their cost estimates. This enabled me to estimate the total cost of producing one ironing mirror board with the clothes cabinet. The primary and secondary sources of data were essential to my study. They helped record the information that I used to come up with the introduction of the clothes cabinet in the ironing mirror board. The data collected proved that the traditional model could be updated in a way that the clothes cabinet can be inserted under the ironing mirror board to make it more comfortable.
