You can read the original version online: http://ymlp30.com/zhDyhO -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Center for the Digital Future at the USC Annenberg School is pleased to present the results of the eighth year of our project, “Surveying the Digital Future.” The eight years of longitudinal research comprise an absolutely unique data base that completely captures broadband at home, the wireless Internet, on-line media, user-generated content and social networking. As usual, the report continues to track off-line media use, purchasing both off-line and through e-commerce, social and political activity and a wealth of other data. The Center for the Digital Future at the USC Annenberg School has been tracking a representative sample of the American population for over eight years, watching as people move on‑line and then move from modems to broadband. The project also carefully tracks those who drop off the net each year and whether they return and, if so, when and what brings them back. At the end of eight years, we also have an unparalleled view of the non‑users who do not go on‑line. We carefully examine why they are not users and whether they are likely to ever go on‑line. The Center is committed to providing highlights of the Digital Future Report free of charge to anyone interested in tracking the ways in which technology is changing the social, political and economic fabric of our lives. The full report – 191 pages of charts, narrative and great detail – is available for purchase. The report highlights are attached to this newsletter in PDF.
