What is the impact of computers in public places like cybercafés and telecenters? How can this impact be measured? What
about mobile phones? And what does it mean for the future of access to technology?
The
Global Impact Study from the
Technology & Social Change Group at the University of Washington’s iSchool is excited to announce that we will be releasing our final research report in March!
The Global Impact Study is the largest, most comprehensive study to date on public access to technology in places like
cybercafés, telecenters, and libraries. The report is full of findings about public access to computers and the internet, the impacts & benefits of public access, the role of mobile phones in the ecology of information access, cost-benefit analysis, and policy,
practice, & research recommendations that we hope will be of great interest to policy makers, practitioners, and researchers.

Stay tuned!
