Subject: Historical ICT survey micro-data?
Dear Colleagues,
(I have looked through the Aior archives for an answer to this but could not see one - I had hoped there would be a full text search facility :-)
We are probably about to start a project looking at historical 'everyday time use' patterns with respect to domestic ICT usage. We have a multinational historical time-use dataset (http://iserwww.essex.ac.uk/mtus/technical.php) but I am searching for ICT focused survey microdata that we can link to it.
Specifically, does anyone know of nationally representative micro surveys (i.e. individuals/households) containing ICT variables (fixed line telephone, VCR, personal computer, mobile phone, internet [whatever flavour], DVD etc etc) for these countries around these specific dates:
USA: 1965, 1975, 1985, 1992-4, 1998 (this is the Maryland webuse data so no problem there) Canada: 1971,1981,1986,1992,1998 France: 1966,1974,1998 Finland: 1979,1987,1996,2000 Netherlands: 1975,1980,1985,1990,1995,2000 Norway: 1971,1980,1990,2000, (2002 e-living) Hungary: 1965,1976,1986,1996,2000
We're also doing the UK of course. Its worth noting that some of the time-use studies also collected the ICT info (e.g. the UM webuse ones) - I'm ignoring this for the time being.
Please mail me and/or the list - I'll summarise any and all responses.
many thanks Ben

Does anyone have any good articles or books on DARPA's projects over the years?

The obvious one is: Abbate, J. (1999) Inventing the Internet. (Cambridge, MA: MIT Press). Abbate interviewed a number of the Internet founders and cites them in her References. Not sure if these interviews are available but they deal with DARPA. I have also found the interviews from TechNation: Americans & Technology, Moira Gunn, presenter on NPR or PRI, I believe. They've been hard to contact recently, but a list of guests might be available. for example, there was a priceless interview with Doug Engelbert, not on your topic, but she might have interviewed some Darpa chiefs.

A quick follow-up: Many of the interviews Abbate used are available from the Babbage Institute at University of Minnesota, http://www.cbi.umn.edu/oh/ 2 other books of interest: - Alex Roland, Strategic Computing: DARPA and the Quest for Machine Intelligence, 1983-1993 (The MIT Press 2002) - Arthur Norberg and Judy O'Neill, Transforming Computer Technology: Information Processing for the Pentagon, 1962-1986 (JHU Press, 2000) - This book was the final product of the project that yielded the interviews I mentioned above. Both books are very good, and obviously both deal with computing in ARPA/DARPA. DARPA did (and still does) much more than computing, but I can't think of any references off the top of my head - Roland's book is more recent and hence might have citations to non-computing research. Or you might contact Roland himself (he is at Duke), by all accounts he is quite friendly.

It's a while since you sent this, but has anyone suggested you look at Jorge Schement's work? He does a lot of digital divide but re phone use. You could email him with this question. Also, you might try Lee Rainie (at Pew) directly about this. I don't know if he is on the AoIR list or reading it. Others -- Norman Nie perhaps, and John Robinson. /C ------- Caroline Haythornthwaite Graduate School of Library and Information Science University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben Anderson" <benander@essex.ac.uk> To: "Air-L" <air-l@aoir.org> Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2004 7:45 AM Subject: [Air-l] re-sent request for ICT survey data help
