It would be interesting to develop a profile of the typical American Everything user and see how it fits in with this picture. Because of course we're talking about an American who:
- Owns or has access to a computer
- Has Internet access and frequently uses it
- Therefore is probably not poor
- Is statistically likely to be of the caucasian persuasion
- Is educated
- Is aware of Everything
- Is the sort of person who is inclined to post their opinions in an online forum, or feels comfortable enough with Everything to do so here
- Cares enough about politics, religion, etc. to make that the subject of their posts
This probably represents a fairly small percentage of the American population, but it raises some interesting questions. Is this
demographic predominately
right-leaning? Is the degree of influence they exert in American
society in proportion to their numbers, or are these the policy makers of the future (or present)?
