Some 63% of those surveyed said that "making sure our computers are protected and privacy respected" is the most urgent security issue compared to 29% who think that physical border security is the most important.

The survey, conducted by Vrge Analytics and sponsored by the Internet Education Foundation, asked 897 adult Americans about a number of technology-related issues.

The survey was conducted in conjunction with the annual State of the Net conference which was held today in Washington, DC.
