The Ever-Shifting Internet Population: A new look at Internet access and the digital divide
A new report from the Pew Internet & American Life Project finds that About a quarter of Americans live lives that are quite distant from the Internet – they have never been online, and don’t know many others who use the Internet. However, there are still pronounced gaps in Internet use along several demographic lines: Older Americans are much less wired than younger Americans; minorities are less connected than whites, those with modest amounts of income and education are less wired than those with college educations and household incomes over $75,000, and rural Americans lag behind suburban and urban Americans in the online population.
