Pew Study on the Future of the Internet
At the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in San Diego, Lee Rainie of the Pew Internet and American Life Project shared results from the latest (fourth) installment of their ongoing study on the Future of the Internet; they’ve been doing these since 2000. These are large scale surveys of experts, and are always interesting reading. Information can be found here:
