In our report, \u201cThe Future of the Internet<\/a>,\u201d we quote Douglas Rushkoff<\/a>, an author and professor at the New York University Interactive Telecommunications Program, who wrote, \u201cThe biggest changes, as always with new media, will be metaphorical. It’s not that anything in particular that we do on the internet is so important \u2013 it’s that behaviors we have online can serve as models for behaviors that change in real life.\u201d <\/p>\n\n

Online banking is a good example \u2013 and the topic of a\u00a0data memo<\/a> released today. Fully 63% of home broadband users do their banking online, compared to 32% of users with dial-up access at home. Broadband users probably do all sorts of chores online \u2013 grocery shopping, gift buying, party invitations \u2013 and they expect that the internet will provide the convenient solution for all their personal business. And they may start to question why certain entities (doctors\u2019 offices come to mind) can\u2019t yet serve their high-speed lifestyle needs.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
