Target audience research and evaluationBarelyToasted
The document discusses research conducted on the target audience for a proposed dance music magazine called "Turntable". An online survey of 33 people aged 16-19 was used to gather both quantitative and qualitative data. Key findings included that the majority of respondents were female, enjoyed at least one of the music genres featured, and were willing to pay between £1.01-£2 for the magazine. Non-music spending centered around food/clothes and popular spare time activities included listening to music and going to concerts. Most preferred a higher quality magazine even at a higher price point. Additional content of interest beyond music centered on film reviews and fashion.
The document discusses the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) which was designed to transfer files between processes with minimal overhead using UDP.
