Abstract The "Wired Suburb" project, currently in progress at the U of Toronto (Ontario), involves an investigation of a wired residential community currently being built in suburban Toronto. This neighborhood is unique in that it has been equipped with a series of new in-home communication & information technologies that include high speed Internet access & a local community network. The investigation's data-gathering plans required a two-wave in-depth survey of all adults of the approximately 450 households & of a similar control group in a nonwired community. For those respondents with Internet access, the premove survey was administered over the World Wide Web. For those with a PC but without Internet access, the survey was administered through Disk-by-Mail interviewing. Those without a PC were delivered a laptop that was used to complete the survey over the necessary time period. Results of the premove survey are used to explore both the benefits & pitfalls of the computer-interviewing methods used, including problems encountered during data collection, coding, & analysis. To further examine survey bias that may result from computer-assisted interviewing techniques, results from both the wired & control samples are compared with existing survey results from other studies using more traditional survey methods.
