Okie doke. It's for my Interactive Media Web Authoring unit. The idea is that I identify a particular audience, research the needs of that audience (that's what this questionnaire is for), and then produce a prototype of a product based on the results of my research.
So the prototype project which I intend to do is a web-based guide on how to perform simple computer tasks to help those who are afraid of making their computers go wrong or believe that tasks are more complicated than they actually are. I guess, in a way, this is the wrong place to do it, because I know you're all not stupid, but hey - every little helps. :) And I have to show that I have researched a wide audience, and I know this place has members aplenty. :)
Please answer the questions for me. It'd be much appreciated.
Thanks. :)

I think the whining about it is definitely the most important step for me.
