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
multilayered 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. Ubiquity, Mobility, Security: The
Future of the Internet, Volume 3: Based on the third canvassing of
Internet specialists and analysts by the Pew Internet &
American Life Project, this volume showcases the responses of
technology stakeholders and critics who were asked to assess
scenarios about the future social, political, and economic impact
of the Internet. Some 578 leading Internet activists, builders, and
commentators responded in this survey to scenarios about the effect
of the Internet on social, political, and economic life in the year
2020. An additional 618 stakeholders also participated in the
study, for a total of 1,196 participants who shared their views.
The insights garnered in the study included predictions made on the
role and importance of mobile devices, the transparency of people
and organizations, talk and touch user interfaces with the
Internet, the challenges of sharing content while trying to perfect
intellectual property law and copyright protection, divisions
between work and personal time given the blurring of physical and
virtual reality, and the "next-generation" engineering of the
network to improve the current Internet structure.
