Earlier this week, Zogby polling and 463 Communications announced a new partnership, Zogby463, that will "track public opinions on a variety of topics pertaining to technology and the economy." This is certainly a welcome addition to the technology landscape, and I'm looking forward to seeing what kinds of data they come up with.
Their first outing, released this week, looked at technology and the economy and also included questions about technology policy. One of the more interesting findings from the survey was an acknowledgement among those surveyed that the future of the American economy is technology and service jobs, not industry and manufacturing.
Also of note: we often see surveys that show that Americans distrust the government but want the government to do more, and the Internet is no exception. While about 60% think that the government should have some authority to regulate Internet content or provide a ratings system, a whopping 83% of respondents think that the average 10 year old knows more about the Internet than their Congressman. Why not put the 10 year olds in charge?
