Changing Use of Internet?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the everything-seems-so-different-now dept.

CodeHog writes "Wired has an interesting article on the perceived changing use of the Internet. Perceived perhaps because it appears that these findings are based partly on search topics. What's more interesting is what it means to the tech community at large. Could this be a new area of tech jobs, setting up and maintaining ecommerce sites, creating search assisting applications?"

    "That makes sense because e-commerce in the last seven years has boomed," said Gary Price, news editor of SearchEngineWatch.com, a branch of Connecticut-based Jupitermedia.com, which reports on Internet surfing. (emphasis mine)

    Didn't Wired say that they wouldn't capitalize "internet" any longer? Liars!

    And interestingly the original story appears to be gone.

    Not only that but corporate usage of the net increased and it's a bad idea to surf for pr0n at work. If we check home users and count P2P as you mention, I'm pretty sure it didn't droped at all.

    Try finding any personal pages about a Thinkpad T41.

    Google the next 3 words with punctuation:
    IBM "my T41"

    Once I found WebGrazer, I pretty much never needed to search for pr0n ever again.

    For OS X only ;)
