Subject: Survey: Digital Natives with a Cause?
Greetings from the Centre for Internet and Society, Bangalore (
http://www.facebook.com/l/1519clsfX9xLOX0u4EHJWfezRdg;www.cis-india.org/).

CIS, in collaboration with Hivos' Knowledge Programme (
http://www.facebook.com/l/1519cYK8neVY1_3yRqITTv44rbA;www.hivos.net/),
launched a project, Digital Natives with a Cause?(
http://www.facebook.com/l/1519ct4dva8a8ZeWrocG9IravhQ;www.cis-india.org/research/dn/dnrep)
in 2008. As younger generations growing up in emerging information societies
learn to engage with their geo-political and socio-cultural environments, a
form of technology-mediated identity, popularly dubbed as the Digital
Native, has been the discussion of a growing public and intellectual debate.
These digital natives are transforming the ways in which they understand
themselves as well as the world around them while engaging with Internet and
digital technologies. Young users of technology are moving towards a
reconfiguration of the world, where questions of identity, political
participation, social transformation, cultural production, education, and
livelihood are being restructured. The Digital Natives Research Programme
focuses on producing new knowledge frameworks, vocabularies and lexicons to
understand, investigate and support these new citizens or netizens rather
who shall be the agents of change in the future. After the initial research
(

CIS will gather responses from young users of technology to help us
understand, document and support different practices aimed at social
transformation and political participation more efficiently.

We believe that the world we live in is changing rapidly and the rise of
Internet technologies has a lot to do with it. As young users of technology
(as opposed to young users who use technology) adopt, adapt and use these
new technologised tools to interact with their environment, new ways of
effecting change emerge. This survey is an attempt to capture some of the
information which gives us an insight into who the people are using these
technologies, the ways in which they use them and what their perceptions and
experiences are.

The survey will not take more than seven minutes of your precious time and
it will help us get a better sense of the way things are. Please click here

to start the survey. We would also appreciate if you could share the link to
the survey with your friends and relatives via your blog, tweets or other
social networking pages. Your help would go a long way in enabling us to
find out how the youth of today are shaping the society and influencing the
political/social scenario around them. Please note that the data collected
as part of the survey would be anonymous and not used for any commercial
purposes. We would also acknowledge your help in preparing the final report.


In case you need any further information or clarifications, please feel free
