ABOUT THE PROGRAM
    While internet use and information technology is expanding, the digital divide is widening for some groups in California. This survey, the second in a five-year annual series of California residents focusing on information technology issues, examines their access to information technology, including computer ownership, access to the Internet, the use of mobile devices, and parents’ use of the Internet to connect to their children’s schools. The survey also looks at perceptions of the role of government and federal funding to improve access and availability of broadband internet technology. This survey details results in the five major regions in California, by race and ethnicity, between urban and rural communities, and among socioeconomic and political groups.
    This study was conducted with funding from the California Emerging Technology Fund and ZeroDivide. This event is co-sponsored with the California Research Bureau.
    Lunch will be p
rovided and there is no charge to attend.  Pre-registration is requested.

SPEAKER: Dean Bonner is a research associate at PPIC whose expertise includes public opinion and survey research; Latino and African American political attitudes; political trust; and political participation and voting behavior.
