Book excerpt: The Household Internet Use Survey is being conducted by Statistics Canada on behalf of Industry Canada. The information from this survey will assist the Science and Technology Redesign Project at Statistics Canada to fulfil a three-year contractual agreement between them and the Telecommunications and Policy Branch of Industry Canada. The Household Internet Use Survey is a voluntary survey. It will provide information on the use of computers for communication purposes, and households' access and use of the Internet from home. The objective of this survey is to measure the demand for telecommunications services by Canadian households. To assess the demand, we measure the frequency and intensity of use of what is commonly referred to as "the information highway" among other things. This was done by asking questions relating to the accessibility of the Internet to Canadian households both at home, the workplace and a number of other locations. The information collected will be used to update and expand upon previous studies done by Statistics Canada on the topic of the Information Highway.

Will telecommuting solve many of society’s ills, or create new ghettos? Penny Gurstein combines a background in planning, sociology of work, and feminist theory with qualitative and quantitative data from ten years of original research, including in-depth interviews and surveys, to understand the impact of home-based work on daily life patterns. She analyzes the experiences of employees, independent contractors, and self-employed entrepreneurs, and presents significant findings regarding the workload, mobility, differences according to work status and gender, and the tensions in trying to combine work and domestic activities in the same setting.

Download or read book Internet Society written by Maria Bakardjieva and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2005-04-19 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: `A highly topical, interesting and lively analysis of ordinary internet use, based on both theoretically competent reflections and sound ethnographic material′ - Joost van Loon, Reader in Social Theory at Nottingham Trent University Internet Society investigates internet use and it′s implications for society through insights into the daily experiences of ordinary users. Drawing on an original study of non-professional, ′ordinary′ users at home, this book examines how people interpret, domesticate and creatively appropriate the Internet by integrating it into the projects and activities of their everyday lives. Maria Bakardjieva′s theoretical framework uniquely combines concepts from several schools of thought (social constructivism, critical theory, phenomenological sociology) to provide a conception of the user as an agent in the field of technological development and new media shaping. She: - examines the evolution of the Internet into a mass medium - interrogates what users make of this new communication medium - evaluates the social and cultural role of the Internet by looking at the immediate level of users′ engagement with it - exposes the dual life of technology as invader and captive; colonizer and colonized This book will appeal to academics and researchers in social studies of technology, communication and media studies, cultural studies, philosophy of technology and ethnography.

Download or read book Plugging in electronic Resource the Increase of Household Internet Use Continues Into 1999 written by Paul Dickinson and published by Micromedia. This book was released on 2000 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canadians are logging onto the Internet in growing numbers. In 1999, the proportion of households that regularly used it, from any location of use, increased to 41.8%. The increase was largely driven by the remarkable jump in the proportion of households that used the Internet from home (28.7%). Not only are households using the Internet, but they are using it more often and for longer periods of time. Households have also become more diversified in their use of this new medium and they use it for a wider variety of services, including the purchase of goods and services. Once households become connected, they stay connected, with connections to the Internet via cable accounting for 12% in 1999. Churning has been very low. Higher-income households are still more likely to use the Internet, as are households with higher levels of education. Although Internet use among seniors is still much lower than among younger households, Internet penetration increased for all age groups and family types. The richer provinces of Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario are the most connected but connectedness increased in every province, with Québec experiencing the highest rate of growth. There is considerable variability in the rates of Internet penetration among larger urban centres but, in general, households living there are more to be connected than those living in other geographical areas.
