Apart from electronic surveys, how does technology facilitate the collection of survey data?

What will be an ideal response?

In “audio computer-assisted self-interviewing,” the interviewer gives the respondent a laptop and a headset. The respondent reads the questions on the computer screen, hears the questions in the headset, and responds by choosing answers on the computer screen; random digit dialing--a machine calls random phone numbers within the designated exchanges, whether or not the numbers are published; computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI)--a telephone interview in which a questionnaire is programmed into a computer, along with relevant skip patterns, and only legal entries are allowed; incorporates the tasks of interviewing, data entry, and some data cleaning; interactive voice response (IVR)--a survey in which respondents receive automated calls and answer questions by pressing numbers on their touch-tone phones or speaking numbers that are interpreted by computerized voice recognition software; computer-assisted personal interview (CAPI)--a personal interview in which the laptop computer is used to display interview questions and to process responses that the interviewer types in as well as to check that these responses fall within allowed ranges.
