Anyway, the Pew Internet reading offered some interesting statistics from recent years about the internet and its usage in homes across America.
Some of the categories include age group, education, income and other demographics.
What I found most interesting was that "A majority of home broadband users see a home high-speed connections as "very important" to at least one dimension of their lives and community..."Something else they included in the study was reasons why 21% of adults do not have internet access in their homes... the highest percentage of which said they are just not interested in getting online.
My generation grew up with all of this... whereas the Baby Boomers did not... it is foreign to them. In other words, "I survived without the internet this far into my life... why do I need to use it now?" Or, as my Grandpa would say,"I'll look that up in my computer upstairs," in reference to his Encyclopedia collection.
