Friday's Lecture Info:
On Friday, there will be an lecture from a high-profile scholar talking
about digital natives and digital immigrants. All are welcome to join.
****************************************************
Lee Rainie, founding Director of the Pew Internet & American Life
Project, will discuss his report Digital Natives Invade the Workplace.
Rainie states, “…in this digitalized age, this 21-year-old and his peers
are showing up in human resources offices as digital natives in a
workplace world dominated by digital immigrants – that is, elders who
often feel less at ease with new technologies.”
The Project has issued more than 100 reports based on social issues
and online activities. It also has focused research on important public
policy questions such as public attitudes about trust and privacy
online, development of e-government, attitudes about intellectual
property issues, the impact of spam, and the status of digital divides.
The Project is non-partisan and takes no positions on policy matters.
All of its reports and datasets are available online for free at
http://www.pewinternet.org.
Rainie’s latest report, The Future of Internet II, discusses the
findings of a survey of technology thinkers and stakeholders and
what major problems they believe will accompany technology
advances by 2020. Prior to launching the Pew Internet Project, Rainie
was managing editor of U.S. News & World Report. He is a graduate
of Harvard College and has a master’s degree in political science
from Long Island University.
