Some slides for a presentation I gave to a working group from our Educational Services Master Plan (ESMP) team. Our team is working on identifying demographic trends for 2020 and making recommendations for the college. My focus has been on the unique topic of technology demographics.

2. 1-Year Snapshot of the Web

3. Over 4.6 million visitors in US

4. Over 4.2 million NJ visitors

5. New versus returning visitors

6. Languages (web browser)

7. Languages (web browser)

8. Visitor Loyalty (retention?)

12. My three year old daughter now has her own iPhone, though without service so it is effectively an iPod touch. And how did I create a monster, you might ask? Easy. Her first words upon waking from sleep are "Where's my iPhone?" Her reaction to her parents call to come to the dinner table, head upstairs for a bath or get ready for bed is to clutch her iPhone and cry. Even though I loaded her iPhone with some of her favorite apps from her mom's phone (by re-downloading to our black Macbook, as I couldn't get iTunes Home Sharing to work with my wife's Macbook Air), she only really uses it to watch a small handful of videos that I ripped or downloaded. And she uses it constantly: sitting in a chair, laying on the floor, walking from room-to-room... head down, focused on the iPhone screen, it can be a challenge to get her to disengage with the device and engage with us.

14. Internet Service Providers (ISPs)

15. Internet Connection Speeds

16. Internet Connection Speeds From 2008 to 2009, on average, the world’s Internet got 13% faster; Americas got 2.4% slower. Akamai’s 2009 State of the Internet report

17. Traffic Sources and Search Terms

18. Top Landing Pages

19. Filtering, not remembering, is the most important skill for those who use the Internet. KNOWLEDGE IS OUT, FOCUS IS IN, AND PEOPLE ARE EVERYWHERE DAVID DALRYMPLE Researcher, MIT Mind Machine Project http://edge.org/q2010/q10_16.html#dalrymple

20. three primary, broad consequences of the Internet: information is no longer stored and retrieved by people, but is managed externally, by the Internet, it is increasingly challenging and important for people to maintain their focus in a world where distractions are available anywhere, and the Internet enables us to talk to and hear from people around the world effortlessly. http://edge.org/q2010/q10_16.html#dalrymple

29. 2010 Horizon Report

30. a qualitative research project established in 2002 that identifies and describes emerging technologies likely to have a large impact on teaching, learning, or creative inquiry on college and university campuses within the next five years

31. six emerging technologies or practices are described that are likely to enter mainstream use on campuses within three adoption horizons spread over the next one to five years

32. Key Trends The abundance of resources and relationships made easily accessible via the Internet is increasingly challenging us to revisit our roles as educators in sense-making, coaching, and credentialing.

33. Key Trends People expect to be able to work, learn, and study whenever and wherever they want to.

34. Key Trends The technologies we use are increasingly cloud-based, and our notions of IT support are decentralized.

35. Key Trends The work of students is increasingly seen as collaborative by nature, and there is more cross-campus collaboration between departments.

36. Critical Challenges The role of the academy — and the way we prepare students for their future lives — is changing.

37. Critical Challenges New scholarly forms of authoring, publishing, and researching continue to emerge but appropriate metrics for evaluating them increasingly and far too often lag behind

38. Critical Challenges Digital media literacy continues its rise in importance as a key skill in every discipline and profession.

39. Critical Challenges Institutions increasingly focus more narrowly on key goals, as a result of shrinking budgets in the present economic climate.

40. Technologies to Watch- near-term horizon(1 yr)

41. Technologies to Watch- 2nd adoption horizon(2-3 yrs)

42. Technologies to Watch- far-term horizon(4-5 yrs)
