# Information 2.0 and Beyond: Where are we, where are we going?

http://www.slideshare.net/PewInternet/information-20-and-beyond-where-are-we-where-are-we-going

[Kristen Purcell](https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/Experts/Kristen-Purcell.aspx), Research Director of the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project, will share data on the latest digital information trends and discuss how those trends are shaping the way libraries and other content-oriented organizations interact with their audiences. Trends to be discussed include the continued popularity of [social media](https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/Topics/Activities-and-Pursuits/Social-Networking.aspx), the rise of [mobile internet](https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/Topics/Technology-and-Media/Mobile.aspx), [handheld devices](https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/Reports/2011/Local-mobile-news.aspx) and [apps](https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/Reports/2010/The-Rise-of-Apps-Culture.aspx), the move towards augmented realities, and the shifting role of the “expert” in [today’s information ecology](https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/Topics/Technology-and-Media/New-media-ecology.aspx). These trends, and others, are revolutionizing how people consume information, and are reshaping the public’s expectations about information access and immersion.
