City of Seattle Technology Indicators survey release and discussion: May 22, Seattle GoodWill

Join us May 22nd, 6-8 pm at Seattle Goodwill's new training center as we release new findings on technology access and adoption by Seattle residents.

More than 2600 residents participated in phone and online surveys and focus groups in multiple languages to share their use, concerns, and barriers to using the Internet, social media, cable TV and online government services.
Also available at the forum will be information about our new immigrant communities and how we can better communicate with them.  This forum is being presented by the Department of Information Technology and the City's Technology Advisory Board, with assistance from the Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs and Seattle Public Library. 

Copies of the report will be available at the event and released via internet after the event.

Here are a few of the questions that the new report answers:

Do residents have more laptops or smartphones?

Is everyone using Facebook now?

Which is more important, better Internet speed or price? 
How do people want to give their opinion or get community information?
How do people use high speed Internet and cable TV? How can education, business, social services and government use this data to close the digital divide and reachdiverse residents?

Place S, at the northwest corner of South Dearborn and Rainier Ave, just off
the I-90 Dearborn exit or #7 or 9 bus.  Free parking is available. See it on
