Connected World Tech ReportAbout the Study

The study was commissioned by Cisco and conducted by InsightExpress, a third-party market research firm based in the United States.

The global study consists of two surveys – one involving college students, the other on young professionals in their 20s. Each survey includes 100 respondents from each of 14 countries, resulting in a pool of 2,800 respondents.

The 14 countries: The United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, United Kingdom, France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Russia, India, China, Japan, and Australia.

The New Social Life: Internet over Love and Friendship?

First Love: Two of five college students surveyed globally (40%) said the Internet is more important to them than dating, going out with friends, or listening to music.

The Productivity Crisis

"Canada's recovery is progressing, but it is relying heavily on sweat and toil, and not on brains and innovation."

- Douglas Porter, Bank of Montreal economist

"For too long, we as a country depended on a lower dollar, we used it as a crutch. We've got to get over that, and live with a dollar at par, or close to it, and find more innovative ways to do things."

- Harry Hall, president, Aberfoyle Metal Treaters Ltd. of Guelph, Ont.
