The new Pew Research report

I was not surprised by the new research report by the Pew Internet & American Life Project, where it said that web 2.0 users only formed a minority.

Saying 37% is a minority would be an overstatement.

37% people reported to have done at least one of these:
Posting comments to a blog, uploading photos or video, creating webpages or mixing and mashing content from other sites.

It would be interesting to know how many of the 4001 people who were surveyed were in colleges.

The report said that 8% of respondents were frequent users of the internet and were not so enthusiastic about cell phones, and did not think that the new web 2.0 tools improved productivity. The reports call them the lackluster veterans, who were among the internet’s early adopters.

I guess the current group of web 2.0 evangelizers/opinion shapers might have similar feelings 20 years down the line, when all that adrenaline has taken its toll.
