I'd like to call attention to the report just released by the Pew Research Center and Elon U. School of Communications. "The Future of the Internet" is a 62 page PDF document, the link to which can be found at http://www.pewinternet.org/PPF/r/145/report_display.asp
Over 1,200 experts were surveyed on the future of the internet and its impact on society and individuals' lives. While the findings may not be earthshaking to the readers of this list, they should provoke some lively discussion about where the internet is headed over the next decade and whether or not those who are not onboard can ever catch up to this fast-moving train. Threats to the very infrastructure of the internet, disappointment at the failure of education to quickly embrace change (?!), and doubts about the role of online democratic process are just a few of survey's findings. Also of interest is the database maintained by Elon U. of more than 4,000 predictions made over the last 10-15 years about the direction of the internet.
