Diane’s Musings

Full day of conference today - mostly good sessions (they can't all be good!) - and unexpectedly good wireless during the convention.  Tomorrow I have to remember to take my power cords - the laptop did well after lunch but would have been even better with "juice". 

As usual, Lee Rainie (Pew Internet & American Life Project) put things into perspective with his "Then and Now" comparisons

2000
46 % of adults use the Internet
5% had broadband
50% owned cell phones
0% had wireless

2008
75% of adults use the Internet
57% have broadband
82% own cell phones
62% are wireless
