February 2014 — The Pew Research Center released a report marking the 25th anniversary of the World Wide Web. The Report highlights that since 1995, internet use has risen from 14% to 87% in 2014. Today, many devices are considered essential, with 46% and 44% of individuals noting that it would be difficult to give up the internet or their cell phones respectively. Also noted were many positive outcomes of the internet, including the impact of online communication, which was said to generally strengthen relationships. The report is the first of a series to be released by the Pew Research Center in association with the Imagining the Internet Project at Elon University, all of which will discuss “emerging trends in digital technology.”
