- PPIC Statewide Survey: Californians and Information Technology
- (This document requires the use of Adobe Acrobat Reader). by Mark Baldassare, Dean Bonner, Sonja Petek, and Jui Shrestha. Public Policy Institute of California, June 2011. "... This survey is the third in a series focusing on information technology issues and is funded with grants from the California Emerging Technology Fund and ZeroDivide. This series seeks to inform decisionmakers, raise public awareness, and stimulate policy discussions and debate about a variety of information technology issues.

This survey seeks to inform the important public policy issues around the changing nature of 'connectedness' and differences between Californians who are and are not 'connected.' We examine access to and use of information technology, the evolving role of mobile devices, as well as the public's perceptions and attitudes toward these issues..."
