Online@asia/pacific: A comparative study of online networks in the Asia-Pacific

在21世纪，互联网的作用将日益成为日常生活的一部分--对个人、社区、企业和政府机构来说。因此，我们必须对澳大利亚和整个地区的在线生活及其与当地线下生活的关系有一个强有力的比较了解。这样的理解对澳大利亚的技术和文化部门至关重要，从而通过21世纪全球市场上最强劲的货币之一Web2.0，为国家研究优先事项3做出贡献，并为将澳大利亚定位于该地区的更广泛的长期项目做出贡献。

In the 21st century, the role of the Internet will increasingly become part of everyday life - for individuals, communities, businesses and government agencies. Thus it is imperative that we have a robust comparative understanding of online life in Australia and across the region, and its relation to local life offline. Such an understanding is fundamental to Australia's technology and cultural sectors, thus contributing to National Research Priority 3 through one of the strongest currencies in 21st century global market, web 2.0, as well as contributing to the broader long-term project of locating Australia in the region.
