PricewaterhouseCoopers said that much of the growth in household Internet access in Canada reported in the 2000 survey can be attributed to Quebec, where penetration rose to 42 percent fmm just 29 percent in 1999. In the restofCanada, 50 percent ofhouseholds have Internet access, up just two percent since 1999. When Canadian go online, just over 92 percent use the Web for resear«h and information. More than 93 percent use email,

while online shopping was reported by 28

percent of users, up &om 22 percent in 1999. The survey also found that 44 percent of Canadians with home Internet connections access online government services. a number thatwas up from just32 percent a yearago. "We' re at the beginning of massive growth in the use of e-government services in Canada," said Oliver Kent, e-government leader for PricewaterhouseCoopers."With

the federal government pledging to make all

services available electronically by 2004, and Ontario targeting 2003, the use of e-government services should grow raptdly." The survey found that simply digging up information on overnm g ent programs and services is the e-government a«nvity reported by most Canadians (83 percent). Some 36 percentsay they have used the Net to look up a phone number or address of a govenunent agency,while 32 percent have searched for work using government databases. PricewaterhouseCoopers said that, not surpris ingly, fewer respondents have used services that have just recently become available, such as online Sing of tax returns (reported by 17 percent) or submitting an application for a service or payment (10 percent). "It's important for governments to remember why people use electronic services," Kent said. "Whether in the private or public sector,

the main driver is convenience."

Digigcents igmelh Conjuring up visions

of Dr. Tongue, Digigcents hopes to do for smell what the monitor does for your eyes and speakers do for your ears, and that's bringing a r i c hersensory experience to your PC. Various essences are stored inside the iSmell device. and when triggered in various combinations, recognizable smeUs are generated. It' s still a fairly crudetechnology at this point (some of the scents were in the

ballpark while others wereonly somewhat related to the item they were trying to replicate), but it'sa nice first step towards making s urfing t h e W eba sweeter experience (or a more stinky

one).

Despite a tiny form factor, the DC4800 packs in a pile of features, an puts some of the more professional ones right on the camera's external controls instead of forcing the user to scroll through obscure menu settings to Bnd them. The output is great and it's stig pretty ea to tuck away into a pocket, proof that you don't have to sacri6ce qua ity for compactness.

Hlkon Coolpix 000

Sure, it's an odd-looking camera at 6rst glance, but it's an extremely powerfu device, offering manual focus.and a lot of other control over the image. Resolutio is high, focus is fantastic and the swiveling lens component makes it a lot easier get the shot you need.
