I was recently reading a report from a well-respected research organization, and it indicated that a larger number of people are creating “content” on the Internet than ever before. Even more impressive is the fact that in the rising generation, over half of teens have created some sort of Internet content.
Wow! Think about that for a moment. If those sort of statistics hold as true for the LDS population as they do for the general population, that means that hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of LDS teens have created Web pages, published or participated in blogs, or created some other type of Internet content. Add to that the adults who do so, and the numbers become staggering. (And they are increasing.)
Are you one of this burgeoning population of “Netizens,” adding to the information available online? Do you have your own Web site? Do you publish your own blog? Do you contribute to a wiki or some message board community?
If so, I’d love to hear how you are using the Internet. I’m interested in seeing–in an unscientific way, of course–if the research statistics I’ve been reading are applicable to our More Good Foundation community. If you don’t mind, just send me a message at awyatt@moregoodfoundation.org and let me know what you are doing and where (what site, etc.). I won’t share the information with others, but if enough of you respond, I’ll report back the results, in aggregate, in a future newsletter.
