Do Americans Trust Their Machines?

Many would get surgery over the Web; fewer would vote.

The relationship between man and machine has always been intriguing, and never more so than now with the omnipresence of computers and the Internet in our lives. We are developing dependence on these devices and trust in them, while at the same time sketching out limits.

Both patterns are very present in some of the questions asked in two extensive Zogby Interactive polls completed this month. One poll, conducted in conjunction with 463 Communications, examined, among other issues, how the Internet impacts our daily lives and the economy. The other was a Zogby poll that explored, among other technology topics, our trust in computers to protect and heal us. We will be releasing more data from both polls in the coming weeks. (To those who may question the fact that these were online polls, please note that 83% of American adults have online access at home, including 93% of likely voters.)
