…the results are separated into piles of other results depending upon the responses given. With me so far? These piles where the data are accumulated are known as demographics. Then these piles of data undergo something known as aggregation. It means that all the demographics from all the surveys(the little piles of data)are thrown together to make one large pile of data. This is called aggregated data.
From this rather large pile of data come the statistics which is what you end up as at the end of it all. Nobody even cares who you are. That is why it doesn’t bother me to answer the questions anymore. At the end of it all I am nothing more to them than a faceless statistic and I like it just fine like that.
Of course, I could be wrong about the whole thing and online surveys are merely a secret plot by the government as a way to spy on the citizenry. Remember: It isn’t paranoia if they really are out to get you. Joke people. Just a joke…or is it?
