UNSW has launched a really exciting new project into looking at the ways websites affect how you think, act and see the world. Visit http://www.uviewtheworld.org.au/ for more details. Pasted below is some info on the project from their website, why not check it out?

"It is almost impossible to exist without the internet these days. More than ever, we are spending time online; for our social lives, entertainment and learning. Because of this, a lot of research is now looking at how the internet affects the way we view the world.

So far, it’s not all good news. In some ways, the internet has a bad reputation when it comes to ‘what is good for you’. A tonne of research has investigated the dark side of online sites and games, particularly the negative effects they can have on people under 18. But we aren’t convinced that’s the whole story.

By taking part in this study you get a chance to help us investigate how websites impact the way you think, behave and interact with those around you! And, all you have to do is play.

To make it worth your while, we’ll throw a $20 voucher your way and you’ll be in the draw for an Apple iPad, an iPod or a $200 JB HiFi voucher if you finish the study! See what's involved here."
