[Air-l] Pew Internet: Invitation to Participate in our Research

[J. J.]

The Pew Internet & American Life Project is surveying people about the
future of the internet and we would very much like to include your views in
our research.

The idea for this project grew out of work we did with Elon University to
develop a database of over 4,000 predictions about the impact of the
internet made by experts during the period between 1990 and 1995.  Now we
are conducting a web-based survey about the impact the internet might have
in the next decade.  We are canvassing many of the people whose predictions
are included in the original 1990-1995 database—and we are soliciting
predictions from other experts who have established themselves in recent
years as thoughtful analysts.

We hope you'll take 20-25 minutes to fill out our survey, which you will
find at:

http://surveys.spss-sb.com/spssmr/survey/surveyentry.aspx?project=p3280003

The survey asks you to assess several predictions about the future impact of
the internet and to contribute your own thoughts about what will happen in
the next 10 years.

This is a confidential survey.  However, we encourage you to take credit for
your thoughts. When you start the survey, please use this personal
identification number (PIN): 700

The Pew Internet & American Life Project will issue a report based on this
survey during autumn; we hope the results will be useful to policy makers,
scholars, and those in the information technology industry.  Our goal is to
include material from this new survey in the predictions database.  (While
we have not publicly talked about that effort yet, you can browse through
the existing material at http://www.elon.edu/predictions.)  Be assured that
we will not use your name or email address for any purpose other than this
research project, and will not share your information with outside
solicitors.

I hope you enjoy taking the survey and sharing your views about the future
of the internet.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me
at lrainie at pewinternet.org.


Thank you,

Lee Rainie
