The article discusses the decision-making problems associated with smart technologies and their usage. For the goal, a two-stage decision-making approach is proposed to survey if smart technologies are used excessively. The first part is focused on composing a survey based on a questionnaire. This investigation should cover a wide range of users of different ages. To make a suitable questionnaire to conduct such a survey a set of predefined questions is to be evaluated. The evaluation should be based on a well-defined structured technique able to motivate rational decision-making. The evaluation of the given number of questions is done by using of well-known technique that decomposes the decision problem into a hierarchy of more sub-problems (analytic hierarchy process) developed by Saaty. The questions are ranked with respect to four evaluation criteria. From the obtained ranking list of questions, the first three questions are selected to compose a questionnaire for quick conduction of survey for investigation of the impact of excessive use of smart technologies. Keywords: Composing of surveys, decision-making, AHP, smart technologies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
