Although broadband Internet availability has become more common, there are still many Californians who are not connected. This survey seeks to inform the important public policy issues around the changing nature of “connectedness” and differences between Californians who are and are not “connected.” We examine access to and use of information technology, the evolving role of mobile devices, as well as the public’s perceptions and attitudes toward these issues.

This survey is the third in a series focusing on information technology issues and is funded with grants from the California Emerging Technology Fund and ZeroDivide.
