[02:12.00]As you listen,fill the blanks on the next questionnaire
[02:17.77]with the answers you hear Anne gives on the tapes.
[02:22.86]Jill:Good afternoon,ma'am.I'm doing some market research
[02:28.45]and I was hoping you might have a few minutes to answer some questions
[02:34.25]Anne:Okay,sure!Jill:Great,thank you very much.
[02:39.76]First of all,do you own a personal computer?
[02:45.36]Anne:Of course!Doesn't everyone?Jill:How long have you owned it?
[02:51.86]A:I bought this particular computer last year.
[02:57.06]But I got my first PC in 1995.
[03:02.65]Jill:I see.And what purposes do you primarily use your computer for?
[03:09.23]You can choose three from the following categories:
[03:14.32]your job,education,research,word-processing,communication,
[03:22.53]household management,recreation and "other".
[03:28.93]Anne:Well,I use e-mail a lot,so a communication for sure,and...
[03:36.63]um,could you read me the list again?
[03:42.04]Jill:Your job,education,research,word-processing,communication,
[03:50.53]household management,recreation and "other".
[03:56.72]Anne:I have a teach-yourself French program,so that's education.
[04:03.51]And I shop on line pretty often,is that the "other" category?
[04:09.91]Jill:Mmhm.Any other uses?Anne:Keeping track of my bank account,
[04:17.52]and there are a couple of computer games I enjoy.
[04:22.30]J:Okay,thanks!Now,you've mentioned e-mail and on-line shopping:
[04:28.98]do you use the Internet for any other purposes?
[04:34.08]Anne:Not really.I've just never gotten around to exploring it much
[04:40.37]Jill:I see.Now for the last question:
[04:45.36]As electronic technology continues to evolve,
[04:50.56]what applications would you particularly like to see developed?
[04:56.65]Anne:What do you mean?
[04:59.62]Jill:If your computer could do more,if it could do anything you want,
[05:05.84]what would you find most useful or interesting?
[05:11.33]Anne:Oh gosh,I don't know!I'm not an expert.
[05:16.63]Jill:That's okay, you can just speculate.Use your imagination!
[05:23.92]Anne:Well,if I could do my banking by computer,that would be great.
[05:30.81]Um,and if there were a program that could help with hard decisions,
[05:39.30]I'd take a lot of advantage of that!And..hm,let me think..I know!
[05:47.51]If my computer could wash the dishes for me,
[05:51.90]that would be real progress!(They both laugh.)
[05:57.88]Jill:Good afternoon,ma'am.I'm doing some market research
[06:04.49]and I was hoping you might have a few minutes to answer some questions.

[06:18.59]do you own a personal computer?Anne:Of course!Doesn't everyone?
[06:25.18]Jill:How long have you owned it?
