HomeNet Project  

Definition

  • In the mid-1990s, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University founded the HomeNet Project, in which they gave Internet access to families across the United States and then documented how the family members used the Internet through a series of studies. The final accumulation of data comes from a series of longitudinal studies, done every year between 1995 and 2002, that look at how families use the World Wide Web, email, instant messaging, online chat groups, bulletin boards, weblogs, and other technologies associated with the Internet.
