While choosing what to write about for Assignment #2, I thought about a topic I’d like to read about if I were the audience. I wrote my piece hoping that a majority of the population can relate to it, especially those reading my writing, college students. Most people have iPhones and have opinions on the update. For my Unit 2 Project I decided to take a survey asking students if they liked the updates the iPhone provided, or disliked it. My writing discusses the outcome of the survey. I began my writing by explaining the concept of change by saying “Every individual handles change differently.

For my Unit 2 Project I decided to take a survey asking students if they liked the updates the iPhone provided, or disliked it. After surveying 50 students, I have found 96% of those (48/50) asked, do not like the updates for various reasons. The main theme of all those who dislike surveys is “why fix something that is not broken.” This saying goes not only for the update, but is a saying many people use to live their lives. The people who answered “no” to my survey question can be categorized into three section. Those who did not like the update due to confusion, those who did not like the update due to not liking change, and those who did not like the update simply because they were used to and enjoyed the past one. Every time change occurs, it can be hard to adjust, but for the iPhone updates, most feel there is no need for change and having to adjust because having a phone should be one of the simple things in life that you should not have to stress over adjusting to.
