New Study on Americans' Expectations of the Net
radicalsubversiv writes "A new study from the Pew Internet & American Life Project reports on Americans' expectations about finding information on the Internet. The (unsurprising) results reveal that large portions of the public go to the net first for many kinds of information. '16 percent of the nonusers say they would turn to the Internet first the next time they need health care and government information.' AP story summarizing the results; and the actual report in PDF format."
...while 100% of those Americans asked said they expect to find pr0n on the Internet, even when they're not looking for it.

Americans annoyed by "all this international shit" on the internet
This is the article that I thing the original poster meant to link to.
About three years ago I was stranded in an airport. I knew some people in the area that could've helped me out, but I couldn't recall their phone number.
So, I then went to the information desk in search of an internet connection I could use to find their phone number. The desk didn't have access available.
A few moments of silence passed, and the lady asked me if a phone book would do.
(Kicker to the story, my friends number was busy because they were using the phone line for AOL).
