Title: How Communities Learn Subject: Lee Rainie, Director of the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project, will discuss the latest trends in Americans use of the internet and smart phones and how people use technology to learn and share information about their communities. He will explore the role of social networks – the technological kind as well as the real-world kind – in shaping the way people gather information and make sense of it.
Perhaps biggest change in info ecology is the democratization of media – and proliferation of niches. The Long Tail becomes reality for media and brands.
This is the way Pew Internet measures content creation….
Social networking use among internet users ages 50 and older has nearly doubled—from 22% to 42% over the past year. Looking at adults ages 65 and older who have high-speed internet connections at home, 72% say they use the internet on a typical day. That compares with 77% of broadband users ages 50-64, 84% of those ages 30-49 and 86% of those ages 18-29.
