Pew Future of the Internet Report

The Pew Internet & American Life Project published a new report titled The Future of the Internet III yesterday. The study was based on a survey of 578 internet leaders who were asked to analyze technology forecasts for the year 2020. Key findings include:

• The mobile device will be the primary connection tool to the internet for most people in the world in 2020.
• The transparency of people and organizations will increase, but that will not necessarily yield more personal integrity, social tolerance, or forgiveness.
• The divisions between personal time and work time and between physical and virtual reality will be further erased for everyone who is connected, and the results will be mixed in their impact on basic social relations.

Be sure and check out the complete report for more.
