News that is Fit to Click

When I need quick facts on Internet usage and how the Web is shaping our world, I turn to the Pew Internet & American Life Project. An initiative of the Pew Research Center, Pew Internet explores the "impact of the internet on children, families, communities, the work place, schools, health care and civic/political life."

Pew Internet Project reports are primarily based on national telephone surveys but also draw from qualitative research methods and data shared by their research partners.

Reports and Presentation topics include:

• Online Activities & Pursuits
• Demographics
• Internet Evolution
• Technology & Media Use
• Health
• Family, Friends & Community
• Major News Events
• Public Policy
• E-Gov & E-Policy
• Education
• Work

The Pew Internet Project does not take positions on technology policy issues, on technological applications, on companies creating technology or on individuals who are connected to the technology matters. All reports and presentations are free and available to all who download or request them for personal use.
