The book you are now reading is the product of a research project launched almost 10 years ago. The World Internet Project is made up of many national reports written by different research teams in recent years. We have also been able to deliver to the academic community and society at large international reports that address the comparative dimensions tapping cross-national and crosscultural similarities and differences in the uses of the Internet. But this is the first time the data gathered by the World Internet Project are published with the aim to develop new hypotheses regarding the role of the Internet in changing our lives and societies.
