This report is a "Future of the Internet" canvassing Pew Research Center and Imagining the Internet Center have conducted together to get expert views about important digital issues. In this case the questions focused on the future of democracy, the problems digital technology has created and possible solutions to those problems. Pew Research Center and Elon University's Imagining the Internet Center built a database of experts to canvass from several sources, including professionals and policy people from government bodies, technology businesses, think tanks and networks of interested networks of academics and technology innovators. The expert predictions reported here about the impact of digital technologies on key aspects of democracy and democratic representation and social and civic innovation came in response to a set of questions in an online canvassing conducted between July 3 and Aug. 5, 2019. In all, 697 technology innovators, developers, business and policy leaders, researchers and activists responded to at least one part of the battery of questions that are covered in this report. The bulk of this report covers these experts' written answers explaining their responses. Respondents in this canvassing sound three broad themes about the changing technology landscape and how it will impact citizens' political and social activities. First, they predict that overall connectivity between people and their devices will increase as more digital applications emerge that allow people to create, share and observe information. Second, the experts responding foresee a sharp increase in connected devices -- for instance, wearables, household appliances, cars -- that could connect people even more deeply with their environments. Third, most of these experts think the explosion of data generated by people, gadgetry and environmental sensors will affect the level of social and civic innovation in several potential directions.
