When Technology Fails, Behaviors Get Analyzed

Chances are if you're easily frustrated and regularly discouraged by the failure of computers, cell phones and the Internet, you're old. That's not criticism, though. It's the results of a recent study released by the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project. The study, based on a survey of over 2000 U.S. adults, took an in-depth look at how people felt and reacted to problems with technology, whether it is a loss of Internet connection or a broken iPod.

Blogosphere Not Useful for 89% of Workforce

We reported recently about the slowed growth of the blogging industry. A new report by the Pew Internet and American Life Project may shed some additional light on the subject. The study reported that networked workers, those who use the Internet or email at work -- which is 62% of American adults -- said such technologies are a "mixed blessing for them." Reading blogs at work was reported by only 11% of those surveyed. Mere 2% of the employed Internet users said they blog at work.

Podcasting Gains More Popularity

As this Internet thing becomes more popular, so change the habits of its users. According to a recent Pew Internet and American Life Project study, Internet users are shifting their media consumption habits to downloading podcasts for later use.
