The Internet as a ‘Significant Other’ and Other Interesting Views

Zogby has been polling Americans on their attitudes about the Internet.  The poll has revealed some gems!  For instance:

• The Internet Could Become a “Significant Other” — Almost a quarter of those polled said that the Internet could become a pretty good surrogate “significant other.”
• Regulating the Internet – The older folks thought that the Internet, and in particular, Internet videos, should be regulated by the government.
• Implants – Very few people were comfortable with “implanting the Internet in their brains,” but they had no problem with implanting chips into kids younger than 13 years old so they could track them.
