Zogby’s “Internet Attitudes” Poll
The first in a series of “Internet Attitudes” polls by Zogby’s has been released.
Highlights from boingboing:
# Twenty-one percent believe that “next Bill Gates” will come from the United States while 13 percent believe he or she will come from India.
# (…) 83 percent — believe that a typical 12-year-old knows more about the Internet than their member of Congress. Republicans (85 percent) and Democrats (86 percent) agreed with each other.
# Two-thirds of Americans believe that soon there will be no place in the world where we won’t be able to access the Internet. Sixty-six percent said that in 10 years they will be able to access the Internet anywhere they are in the world.
# (…) most Americans aren’t quite ready to rely on “citizen videos” for our news just yet. Seventy-percent said they would rather watch the evening news coverage instead of a citizen video report on an event. Though, only one year after YouTube burst onto the scene, fully 25 percent of those 18-49 years old would chose citizen video. Self-described progressives picked citizen video 30 percent of the time, while only 19 percent of those calling themselves conservative did.
