SIQSS Report: Ten Years After the Birth of the Internet, How Do Americans Use the Internet in Their Daily Lives?
http://www.stanford.edu/group/siqss/

A report titled "Ten Years After the Birth of the Internet, How Do Americans Use the Internet in Their Daily Lives?" has been released by The Stanford Institute for the Quantitative Study of Society (SIQSS). The New York Times covered the report on December 30th, 2004, in an article entitled "Internet Use Said to Cut Into TV Viewing and Socializing" by John Markoff. Click here to see the article (requires registering at the NYT website). The Stanford Institute for the Quantitative Study of Society (SIQSS) is dedicated to employing empirical data, and statistical methods informed by the best of social theory, to address complex questions about the nature of society and social change. Located on the Stanford Campus in the heart of Silicon Valley, SIQSS is well placed to assess changes brought about by the information technology revolution and the increasingly educated workforce. The Institute is unique. In a field dominated by 'think tanks' devoted to narrow policy questions or a particular political viewpoint, SIQSS will focus on broad social questions relying on empirical evidence rather than ideology. The combination and cooperation of distinguished faculty in the fields of political science, sociology, economics, psychology, education and history and a National Advisory Board of leading figures from business, finance, and government will ensure a creative, realistic, socially relevant, and methodologically rigorous approach to studying social change.
