Finalization
Finalization
During this period I was able to start and finalize my survey/method. This allowed me to publish the survey into a Facebook subgroup, where those looking for participants to take part in their survey. Unfortunately I have yet to get a response. So I feel as though I need to expand where I put my survey and possibly go out in person to talk to people/ participates.
If you would like to participate in the survey here is the link:

More in depth into my methodology
A survey is going to be conducted requesting the taker to answer a series of questions pertaining to the causes and symptoms of set diseases. I will then determine the possibility of each symptom and compare it with a disease if any. The way I will be analyzing it is by using the resources provided to me by google forms. These resources include automatically putting data into a spreadsheet which from then I can make into a bar graph, and be able to split each age group with their symptoms into a set pie chart. This way I can see if there is any change in each age group. Also, I can make a second national average bar chart based on researched data, this way I can compare data and actually be able to show how my research question/hypothesis has been answered. My method allows me to sustain anonymity and allows me to stay within the safety guidelines needed since I will only be asking for the last 4 digits of their phone numbers to determine their test subject number, I will be going out and asking directly if they would like to be participate it would be easier to know who the test subject is based on the order at which I asked and the order that google forms would put it in. I will never have their responses on recording and this survey is going to be voluntary. Lastly it does not put the test subjects in any danger. Lastly all questions will have the option of “rather not answer”. This way test subjects can comfortably answer the questions that they want to. The data I will be collecting will show the likelihood of a hand disease to be developed in Generation Z earlier than the national average. Depending on what I collect I may be able to concur if it actually is technology causing this. This data can be collected via the survey mentioned, most of the data will be collected from the general public aged 18-24, but I will also be collecting data from students aged 18 in my high school. After the test subjects answer the survey I will run a diagnostic on the causes of the pain and the symptoms, this way I can determine if there are any outliers and make a graph displaying the level of pain in accordance with their age.

Interesting information I found
This is relevant as those who receive hand diseases early on, are more likely to pass it on to their children, eventually leading to permanent bone change in future generations. Hand diseases such as arthritis and Carpal Tunnel causes permanent injury in one’s bone structure and can lead to excruciating pain. The worst part about all of this is that many hand diseases damage DNA repair systems directly, allowing it to be passed on to newborns. “Some of these DNA repair systems are so important that life cannot be sustained without them. An increasing number of human hereditary diseases that are characterized by severe developmental problems have been found to be linked to deficiencies in DNA repair.” ( Wiesmüller, Ford, Schiestl, 2002)
