What's This Internet Thing?
An interesting PhD research-y question (if i was a PhD):
How have worldly perceptions by people of the Internet Age changed from past generations? Defining the Internet Age as people who were at least 13 years old in 1996 (widespread Internet use begins), has the increased personal and journalistic communication (email, webpages, blogs) broadened people's view of people, places, and things? Are these people more accepting of other cultures? Are they more willing to look beyond their own city or country, to be concerned with and about people they may have emailed or read about on a global website? Or are people of this age group as idealistic as previous generations' young people always been?
