Reminder: Take Our Survey On What Forces Will Impact The Future Of Work
from the don't-miss-out dept
Earlier this week, we announced our latest project from our think tank wing, the Copia Institute, called Working Futures. This is a project to really take an deep look at what the future of work might really look like in the next ten to fifteen years. As the first part of this project, we’re asking people to take a quick survey, to help figure out which driving forces are going to play the most important role in what work looks like going forward. So far, the feedback and insights we’ve received have been fantastic, provocative and quite thoughtful. However, the more insight we get, the better the overall project will turn out, so if you haven’t yet had a chance to do so, please head on over and take the survey. The future of work depends on you…

Some of the questions ask for a 0 to 5 rating, and I’m not able to choose one.
And it’s really annoying to have 2 vertical scrollbars on a page.
Re: Broken
Can you give any more details? The bars appear to work for us. Do you have javascript blocked? That might cause problems on the survey page.
Re: Re: Broken
Disabled, not blocked.

Many proxy sites will block Javascript from reaching the end-user’s computer which has Javascript enabled. It can be both a feature and a bug.

Thanks for the warning that if I go there, Google will spy on me forever.
That’s not what javascript does.
Have you learned nothing from the Facebook flap? People do NOT want to be tricked and tracked.
There is no tricking or tracking. Just using javascript to make the survey work better.
Re: Re: Re:2 Broken
Although Javascript has many uses, a multiple-choice survey is not one of them. The page coder obviously knew this, since the first question does not require javascript to answer, yet the other questions do.

Re: Re: Re:3 Broken
This wasn’t a hypothetical exercise, it was part of a real-world workflow for a very small team – the survey needed to be built in a couple of days by someone without any html/css knowledge, and needed to have certain specific capabilities. This was the appropriate solution.
You will perhaps be more pleased to know that the main Working Futures site, which was indeed hand-coded from scratch, involves no JavaScript whatsoever, and I agree it is silly when simple non-interactive one-pager websites are built using robust and elaborate script frameworks.
Re: Re: Re:3 Broken
(Either way though, this does not change the fact that the earlier comment makes no sense. The presence of Javascript does not itself indicate tracking by facebook or google, any more than the presence of a hammer indicates what someone’s building.)
Interesting survey. I had no issues with functionality.
Re: Re:
IT Guy,
A few topics I haven’t thought about lately. Nice off the cuff layout. No issues from my version of mac os + Chrome.
It’s not really a problem but some of the options you can select seem to be consequences of other options in the same list. There are those where one happening depends on another on the same list. Maybe it’s on purpose?

Maybe it’s on purpose?
Maybe. 🙂
Re: Re: Re:
Can you EVER just plain answer a question?
What are readers to take from this but that going to the whatever site and taking the “poll”, they may end up frustrated?
Web-site design fail AND even more off-putting “response”.
Re: Re: Re: Re:
lol.
As the original person placing the question I consider it answered wonderfully btw. Maybe it’s just me.
Can anyone post a direct link to the second page of the survey?
I’d like to at least read it even if I lack the requirements (js-1.8.5 etc) to take the survey.
Do y'all actually think this will produce anything substantive?
I submitted my thoughts, for all the good it’ll do. Odds are this is going to be yet another bunch of roundtables where people offer up the same vague platitudes and zero progress is made because the people involved are afraid of shaking up the status-quo that they’ve massively benefited from, just like Davos every year.
Re: Do y'all actually think this will produce anything substantive?
It seems that many if not most surveys and polls are tools to advance some kind of political agenda. So says professional pollster Frank Luntz, who offers detailed instructions on crafting questions to get the answers you want.

Just a quick Google search for recent Javascript browser exploits found these:
Rowhammer
Spectre
Meltdown
AnC/ASLR
Considering the very real dangers of running javascript, why do so many sites require javascript for things that don’t need javascript?
