Drawing
on longitudinal data from its long-term look at the social, political and
economic impact of the Internet, “Surveying the Digital Future,” the Center for
the Digital Future at the USC Annenberg School for Communication recently
released its fifth year findings. Jeffrey Cole, director of the Center, will
break down the project’s data to look at the most important and compelling
impact of the Internet over the past decade. The project, which issues a
domestic and international report each year, now extends to over 23 countries
around the world.
In July 2004 Jeffrey Cole joined the USC Annenberg School for Communication as Director of the newly formed Center for the Digital Future and as a Research Professor. Prior to joining USC, Cole was a longtime member of the UCLA faculty and served as Director of the UCLA Center for Communication Policy, based in the Anderson Graduate School of Management. At UCLA and now at USC Annenberg, Cole founded and directs the World Internet Project, a long-term longitudinal look at the effects of computer and Internet technology on all aspects of society, which is conducted in over 20 countries. At the announcement of the project in June 1999, Vice President Al Gore praised Cole as a “true visionary providing the public with information on how to understand the impact of media.”
