The mobile difference
The mobile difference
Broadband well-being benefits
- 42% of Americans say they or someone they know has been helped by health advice and information they have found online – compared with 3% who say they have been hurt by online medical information
- 68% of broadband users say broadband is important to them for finding out what is going on in their communities
- 62% say it is an important contributor to economic growth in their communities
- 58% say it is important to their ability to share their views with others
- 57% say it is important to their ability to communicate with local officials
- 25% of all Americans say the internet and cell phones have made their current family life closer than the life they knew when they were young, compared with 11% who say technology has made their family not as close
Un-quantified impacts
- The exact economic value that is added to a locale when you bring broadband to the community … or the benefits that accrue to individuals as productive workers and as smart consumers when they become internet users
- Any improvements that occur in learning, especially in formal educational outcomes, when internet use is encouraged in school-related work
- The impact on medical outcomes that occurs when people use the internet to gather health information and share their stories about their own experience of diseases and treatments
- The possibility that internet use produces new involvement with civic and political life by those who might otherwise be disengaged
