EXPERTS CONSIDER THE INTERNET’S FUTURE
=========================================
Is the Internet making us smarter, stupider, more dependent on it, or
all of the above?
The Pew Internet & American Life Project and Elon University’s
Imagining the Internet Center asked dozens of experts–such as Google
research director Peter Norvig, futurist blogger Jamais Cascio, and
tech watcher Esther Dyson–to consider the future of the Internet-
connected world between now and 2020.
Most of the experts agreed that the Internet will make us smarter in
some way by 2020.
“In the coming years we will have to continue to teach people to think
critically so they can better understand the wealth of information
available to them,” said Jeska Dzwigalski of Linden Lab.
Janna Quitney Anderson of Elon University and Lee Rainie of Pew
Internet & American Life Center put the survey together. They’ll speak
on it and on the future of the Internet at WorldFuture 2010, the World
Future Society’s annual meeting in Boston in July.
