Request for volunteers to be interviewed for research project

[Guest guest]

Volunteers needed for research study on the experience of the regular use

of several information and communication technologies for daily-life

activities, such as work, personal and family communication, social

networking, and leisure activities. The study is designed to look at the

multiple worlds many of us now deal with as a regular part of our daily

lives. Participation in the study involves one or two in-person or phone

interviews, lasting from one and a half to two hours each, conducted by a

researcher affiliated with Fielding Graduate Institute

(<http://www.fielding.edu/>www.fielding.edu ). To qualify, you must be over

18 years old and use at least two Internet applications (e-mail, the Web,

on-line bulletin boards or discussion spaces, mailing lists/listserv's or

newsgroups, access to news, instant messaging, chat rooms, webcam), at

least one other computer application (e.g. word-processing, spreadsheet,

database), and the telephone and/or phone-based text messaging on a daily

or nearly daily basis as a major part of your work and personal activities,

and you must have been doing so for at least six months. For an in-person

interview (preferred but not essential), you should also live in or near

New York City; Providence, Rhode Island, or Portland, Oregon, which is

where the researchers are located. For a phone interview, you should live

in the continental United States, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Hong

Kong, Israel, Italy, Japan, or Australia. Upon completion, this study will

be available to any interviewee who expresses an interest in it. There is

no remuneration for participating in the study. If you are interested,
