2018 Digital Future Project - Surveying the Digital Future - The 16

This report marks the completion of the 16th annual study by the Center of the views and behavior of internet users and non-users in the United States. [...] The project looks at the same group of people year after year – The Digital Future Project comprehensively examines the effects of the internet over the course of years on the same group of people. [...] Time spent using the internet at work The number of hours employed internet users go online at work decreased for the first time in the history of the study. [...] Similarly, the greatest number of users since the beginning of the study reported that only a small portion or none of the information on the internet overall is reliable (19 percent). [...] The internet and government regulation Consistently small percentages of respondents in the Digital Future studies said that the government should regulate the internet more than it does now, and that percentage (21 percent) remained the same in the current study compared to the last.
