The predictions about the Internet from technologists, government leaders, entrepreneurs, the business press, and investment carnival barkers were voluminous and unsparing. No aspect of people’s social lives, business arrangements, workplace culture, media power, civic engagement, or learning environments would be immune from the Internet’s radical influence. The cultural gatekeepers were fond of asserting, “The Internet changes everything.” The Pew Internet and American Life Project was born of the idea that these were testable propositions and this volume shows how scholars have begun to use the data gathered by the Project.
