Lee Rainie will discuss the major findings of the Pew Internet & American Life Project in this last SirsiDynix Institute event for 2006. This effort explores the behavior and expectations that result from living in a world that offers media and message delivery through so many different devices, in so many different ways. Rainie will also describe the social and institutional impact of the Internet, cell phones, and media-making devices on users and the organizations that want to serve them. Listen to the intriguing research results and coming trends that are unfolding as the world of media and communications continues to evolve. Find out what impact this has for us as we strive to stay ahead of the needs and aspirations of our customers in the coming decade.
