Hi
We have contact with a NGO who has recently started an Internet Cafe in a rural community. The question that they (and we) are interested in is: How can we (without invading privacy) research the types of Internet usage and how it evolves with time. I was thinking about types of use such as:
- email (web email)
- banking
- general news
- looking for music
- using information portals (wikipedia, yahoo, ...)
- searching
- ...
I was wondering if anyone has done research in this area and can provide insights and experiences?
