27. Impacts: Social life The internet adds in some ways to social capital People use the internet more seriously as they gain experience Broadband connections change internet user behavior E-patients are creating a new health care environment E-citizens are creating a new civic environment

28. Impacts: Personal life Break down traditional barriers Home/work/school Public/private Consumer/producer Everyday life rhythms – time shifting Communicating Entertaining Transactions “Info snacking” and news “playlists” Dark side – stress, info overload, fewer secrets

29. Impacts: People’s relationship to information Information as social sharing Information sources are my friends: Dr. Google, Pastor Yahoo “Daily Me” Challenges to credibility

30. New Reality 1: Interactivity matters profoundly You are in constant “conversation” with your customers They can be your greatest resource because they know more than you do! People like to create content and they expect to be able to interact online 44% have created content and posted it online 57% of broadband users have done so

31. New Reality 2: People have new ways to talk about you The velocity of information matters – this is the era of “smart mobs” “Through the internet, people are discovering and inventing new ways to share relevant knowledge with blinding speed. As a direct result, markets are getting smarter – and getting smarter faster than most companies.” – Cluetrain Manifesto, Rick Levine, Christopher Locke, Doc Searls, and David Weinberger The permanence of information matters – search engines and linked databases make much more material accessible much more quickly

32. New Reality 3: This is the era of the “daily me” and “my media” More than half of internet users belong to listservs and other email groups organized around a topic, organization, or group More than a third of internet users customize information at Web sites 25% get e-newsletters 5% get RSS feeds Podcasts are catching on

33. New Reality 4: Tech elite & information Household as a node on the information network Content is an intermediate input to be: Mashed-up Recombined Redistributed Content is fluid: Sometimes it’s free Sometimes they pay for it

34. Further thoughts about a webmanager’s response Act like a news service and syndicate Practice search engine optimization: Google and Yahoo are your home page!

36. Trend 1: Device power and the rise of the “internet of things” More “smart” gadgets and “dumb” appliances plug in The network of the future is “one in which every machine with electricity is essentially on the Net, where everywhere you are – except the desert or the Rockies – you can instantaneously be connected to the internet.” --- Prof. Larry Lessig, Free Culture

37. Trend 2: Mobility power The wireless connection in those devices grows 66% own cell phones 39% own digital cameras 18% own laptops with wireless connections 12% Blackberries and wireless PDAs Smart mobs proliferate

38. Trend 3: Content creation and content sharing power The volume of people’s postings skyrockets, and the tools for sharing expand

39. Trend 4: Search power will expand and become more social Improvements in “semantic web” – contextualized search Customized and local search Social search and validation (reputation systems and social media) Collaborative filtering, tagging, social filters

40. Ahead “For us [the future means] making content mobile and accessible, so it can be delivered on demand to any application or device, at any time or place.” --- Tom Curley, CEO Associated Press Speech to Online Press Association, November 12, 2004
