| Abstract: | This project was created to serve as a benchmark of the effects of the Internet globally. The study examines the influence of the Internet on social, political, cultural, and economic behavior and ideas as measured by the attitudes, values, and perceptions of both Internet users and non-users. This report is meant to be yearly and will survey the same individuals each year to explore how the role of the Internet evolves. The project is not restricted to any particular method of accessing the Internet or to the Internet in its present form. The World Internet Project was created and organized by the UCLA Center for Communication Policy and includes the UCLA Internet Project and similar studies in countries worldwide. The United States, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Singapore, Sweden, and Taiwan were participants in the first year of the World Internet Project. This year (2001) the project will expand to another 15 countries including China, Australia, Germany, France, Great Britain, Hungary, Finland, Russia, India, and Brazil. The findings of the report have been categorized into five broad areas: Internet use and non-use:(1) who is online, who is not, what are users doing online?; (2) Media use and trust; (3) Consumer behavior; (4) Communication patterns; and (5) Social and psychological effects. |
