3: "The credibility of the Internet is dropping."
4: "We have just begun to see the changes to come in buying online."
5: "The 'geek-nerd' perception of the Internet is dead."
6: "Privacy and security: Concerns remain, but the high levels are changing."
7: "The Internet has become the number one source for information for Internet users."
8: "The benefits -- and drawbacks -- of the Internet for children are still coming into focus."
9: "E-mail: E-Nuff already?" ...users are "tired of e-mail defining their lives."
