n A lot of research is done via survey. n Behavioral research is more expensive – time
consuming, harder to orchestrate, etc. n Several “classic” social psychology experiments would
not be allowed by today’s Human Subjects standards.

What about technology?
Web Science Research Initiative - MIT & other schools n Interdisciplinary effort to study the scientific and societal consequences of
wiring the planet together. n "We're doing this partly out of excitement and partly out of duty," said Tim
Berners-Lee, who invented the technical underpinnings of the Web in 1989 and now wears several hats, including senior research scientist at MIT.
“2016” Symposium n Computer scientists from academia and companies like I.B.M. and Google
discussed topics including social networks, digital imaging, online media and the impact on work and employment. But most talks touched on two broad themes: the impact of computing will go deeper into the sciences and more into the social sciences, and policy issues will loom large as the technology becomes more powerful and more pervasive.
