SANDY: I think it's changed a lot in terms of how I access
information now versus a few years ago.
For one thing, internet connections are faster, and I
would automatically go to the internet.
DEE: Anything I need to find out, I search.
JOHN: If somebody mentions to me that there was a place they
went to that was really great, you got to check it out, I'll
pull up maybe a website that they send me.
LINDA: A lot of information I find about buying the right
things is on television.
And I also look at some of the women's magazines, Women's
World, Good Housekeeping.
DAVID: I'm a big TiVO user, and TiVO remains my primary
source of television.
Especially with television ads, if they do have a URL and
the product was visually interesting, I would certainly
look it up.
CHRIS: News-related sources for me are CNN, MSNBC, ABC,
which are just sort of venerable, rated news sources.
DAVID: I have an Apple iPhone.
It's almost exclusively for information, directions,
Google searches, looking for stores.
I actually do check Facebook quite often on iPhone.
MONICA: I do use my phone to search for information.
I use the mapping feature a lot.
I'll be reading something in the red eye, and be on the
train, and look it up on my phone later that day.
STEVE: People are just utilizing the internet more
and more, and it's becoming a way of life.
SANDY: I think they use the internet to look for almost
every compartment of my life.
GILLIAN: I use the web, mostly for email and for information.
ALEX: I'm on Facebook.
I post my photos and discuss things online.
I may share information to my friends.
MONICA: I do email every day.
I do some online shopping and some browsing for information,
like Google browsing.
STEVE: Initially why I go to a website is because I'm looking
for some pricing.
DALE: I do my searches looking for price, value, location.
MONICA: In the past, I would have relied on newspaper or
telephone to find information, and I do really
little of that now.
It's almost all from restaurant reservations to
movie reviews.
Everything is online.
