Internet Week features over 250 events this year.
Those of you wondering what the future holds for the Internet are bound to find the answer at Internet Week New York.
Now in its fifth year, the festival, which starts today and runs through May 21, features over 250 events geared towards helping New Yorkers connect with the citys thriving tech community.
Its a week where the citys Internet industry comes out from behind their screens, festival founder David-Michel Davies told the Daily News. Its a chance to see the Internet come to life and experience it in real time.
New York City is now battling Silicon Valley as the countrys hottest tech hub, but you dont have to be Mark Zuckerberg to get in the game.
Using technology to make your life better appeals to everyone, Davies said.
The diverse catalogue of events at Internet Week includes panel discussions and parties featuring companies in the arts, music, travel, media, fashion, advertising, business, and online dating, as well as opportunities for startups to pitch investors and meet some big fish in the New York tech pond.
Attendees will hear from speakers on the frontlines of New York tech, like 26-year-old Tumblr founder David Karp and BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti, as well as business mavens like Billy Beane, the Oakland Athletics general manager played by Brad Pitt in the Oscar-nominated Moneyball.
One of the highlights is sure to be Walkabout NYC, which opens the doors to some of New York's best-known tech companies so the average person can see what its like behind the scenes. Facebook, Gawker and Tumblr are among the 54 companies participating in an open house held Friday, May 18, as well as trendy online eyewear brand Warby Parker, luxury e-commerce site Gilt Groupe, and popular digital fashion hub Refinery29.

LONDON, May 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Intersperience reveals impact of 'constant connection' on under-18s
The majority of British teenagers who use mobile internet admit to feeling "addicted" to their smartphones and would rather give up television, Facebook and chocolate than their phone, according to a new study by international consumer research specialist Intersperience.
The study found that mobile addiction is on the rise across all age groups in the UK with almost half (48%) of adults admitting to feeling addicted, compared to 65% of under-18s. The addiction is being fuelled by a communications boom which has seen the percentage of the UK population regularly using mobile internet jump to 38% from just 24% in 2009.
Both teenagers and adults named their mobiles as the number one object or activity they could not live without. Teenagers were more willing to give up Facebook, television and chocolate than their phone while adults would rather live without make-up, alcohol, cigarettes and coffee than their phone.
The findings are drawn from Intersperience's 'Internet on the Move' project which researched mobile internet use across the UK, analysing the behaviour of 1,400 mobile users, including 400 aged between 12 and18. It is part of a series of research studies into the impact of the digital society on UK consumers.
Smartphone ownership is higher among under-18s (66%) than adults (58%) but the study found that both age groups have strong emotional connections to their phones. Respondents said they would be "agitated", "lost" and "panic-stricken" and many said they would cry if they lost their mobile.
More teenagers (60%) than adults (48%) would feel agitated if they did not have their smartphone for a full day and teenagers were also more likely to describe themselves as sad, helpless and lonely without their phones.
The study also revealed growing pressure on parents to buy mobiles for children at an earlier age - under-18s think a child should get its first mobile at age 10 to 11 while parents think it should be age 12 to 13.
Intersperience Chief Executive Paul Hudson said: "The rise in smartphone addiction stems largely from a significant increase in the percentage of people regularly using them to access the internet. This is particularly noticeable among under-18s and it is having a marked effect on their behaviour and emotions."

Rising Internet Use Fuels Teen Smartphone Addiction
A new study shows that Internet radio usage is up by huge margins all across the board, especially among those with a lot of money. Suspiciously, this study is funded by an Internet radio advertising agency.
Why tune into FM when you can listen to anything you want on Internet radio?The number of Americans listening to Internet radio rose another 8 percent in the last year, reaching 42 percent, according to a new study. Among those with broadband, 65 percent listen to Internet radio. Oh, and broadcast radio use is down 47 percent among younger generations from a year ago.
Of course, these results arent surprising when you consider thatthe study was commissioned by TargetSpot, a digital audio advertising network which stands to make a lot more money as Internet radio takes over.Were not disputing the trends here. Internet radio use likely is on the rise thanks to connected devices like tablets and social networks like Facebook, but please take these numbers with a grain of salt.
Surprisingly, the study shows that Internet audio listeners also make a lot of money, meaning theyd make a great investment for your advertising dollars. According to the numbers, 51 percent are married, 64 percent own their own home, 42 percent have children, and 22 percent make more than $100,000 per year in household income. Jackpot.
Other interesting stats from the study:
So there you have it. The study has many more figures, but all of them seem to spell huge growth for Internet radio. This begs the question, do you listen to Internet radio-like services now? More than a year ago? Let us know. Unlike this digital advertising network, we dont have an agenda.
