Hi Edward, You idea is too complicated for a small research. My suggestion is to revise your topic as "How and why do Hong Kong teenagers like using online media rather than traditional one?" Make use of uses and gratifications theory as framework. No comparison between different groups of people, and between mainstream and alternative media are required. The scope of your proposed research is too large to handle. Interviews and observations are what you need to do. No "quiz" is needed.
