The PEW Internet and American Life project has released a new report (Note – this link will download the pdf). This report concludes that the Internet helps family members develop more effective social networks and plays an important role when family members face important personal decisions. 45% percent claim that the Internet played a role (communication with family members, information access) in an important life decision made within the last year. What are the implications for educators? Perhaps – what are the disadvantages for those families without access, have citizens learned to locate useful information, have citizens learned to communicate effectively?
