Up for Grabs: The Future of the Internet, Volume 1 is the first
volume of an exciting series by the Pew Internet & American
Life Project and Elon University. How will the Internet be expected
to change the workplace, family life, education and many other
foundations of society between 2004 and 2014? Significantly. That
was the forecast of nearly 1,300 leading technology experts and
scholars who responded to The Future of the Internet I, a 2004
survey by researchers at the Pew Internet & American Life
Project and Elon University. The extensive elaborations supplied by
survey respondents provide a vision of a networked, digital future
that enhances many peoples' lives but also has some distressing
implications. The big-picture Internet issues of the next decade,
as foreseen by the experts in this survey, include: positive and
negative changes in the family dynamic; a conflict between our
desire for privacy, security and ownership of intellectual property
and our desire for the convenience of free information sharing on
networked devices; and a concern over being inundated with
information. About the series: Technology builders, entrepreneurs,
consultants, academicians, and futurists from around the world
share their wisdom in The Future of the Internet surveys conducted
by the Pew Internet & American Life Project and Elon
University. The series of surveys garners smart, detailed
assessments of multi-layered issues from a variety of voices,
ranging from the scientists and engineers who created the first
Internet architecture a decade ago to social commentators to
technology leaders in corporations, media, government, and higher
education. Among the respondents are people affiliated with many of
the world's top organizations, including IBM, AOL, Microsoft,
Intel, ICANN, the Internet Society, Google, W3C, Internet2, and
Oracle; Harvard, MIT, and Yale; and the Federal Communications
Commission, FBI, U.S. Census Bureau, Social Security
Administration, and U.S. Department of State. They provide
significant and telling responses to questions about the future of
government, education, media, entertainment, commerce, and more.
They foresee continuing conflicts over control of networked
communications and the content produced and shared online. They
also predict the major changes ahead for everyone in every field of
endeavor.
