(i.e would someone have personal music taste they don't feel comfortable to stream but would buy for private listening)</li>\n<li>Is modern living in terms of technology and space constraints motivating the music interaction habits? (i.e. no room in a small appartment for a big vinyl collection; no easy to carry CD music player available anymore, etc.)</li>\n<li>Does physical context play a part in how people interact with their music?</li>\n<li>How comfortable are the subjects with the technology changes over time (i.e. using new systems and devices to access their music)?</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<h3 id=\"these-questions-will-be-broken-down-and-inserted-into-the-questionnaire\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#these-questions-will-be-broken-down-and-inserted-into-the-questionnaire\" aria-label=\"these questions will be broken down and inserted into the questionnaire permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>These questions will be broken down and inserted into the questionnaire.</h3>\n<hr>\n<p>Based on the above, to make sure the data gathered is valid, I want to target a poll of subjects that:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>fall in the <em>Millenial</em> group (born in the years 1980–2000).
