The Pew Research Project has a couple of good research publications online at the moment.

  • The Internet and Civil Engagement report makes the claim that while the Internet is not changing the relationship between socio-economic status and civic participation, there are signs that blogs and social networking sites are helping youth become more politically vocal.
  • The Teens and Mobile Phones report talks about the rise in ownership and use of mobile technology by youth. The rise is apparently faster than that of older people, to show that the gap between young and old is closing.
