Emerging Technology

Consumption of news, information and entertainment has radically changed, and not just online. In this talk, Director Lee Rainie presents the latest data and trends.

New findings from the Pew Internet Project's recent survey of experts about the state of the internet in the year 2020

Kristen Purcell presents Pew Internet's latest findings about the participatory news consumer to media professionals representing nonprofit arts organizations from across the state of New Jersey.

Technology experts and stakeholders say they expect they will ‘live mostly in the cloud’ in 2020 and not on the desktop, working mostly through cyberspace-based applications accessed through networked devices.

Lee Rainie spoke to librarians in Barcelona (May 19, 2010) and Madrid (May 21, 2010) about how libraries can survive in the new media ecosystem. Includes speech text and slides.

Lee Rainie discusses social, economic, and political trends especially among the younger generation that have given rise to a new and emerging class of networked citizens.

Technology experts and stakeholders who participated in a recent survey believe online information will continue to be organized and made accessible in smarter and more useful ways in coming years.

Lee Rainie will discuss the latest research findings on people's use of social media and how technology has affected some of the ways people learn, make decisions, and offer social supports to others.

Lee Rainie, Director of the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project, discusses how technology is helping "networked individuals" reshape their relationship to media, to information, and to each other.

Information permeates all aspects of our lives and this changes people's behaviors and expectations.
