PEW Research on Internet Access

1. 73% of the American population uses e-mail or internet communication. This leaves approximately 27% of the US population out of the research and, more importantly, it means there's still a number of Americans who haven't taken advantage of the new technologies and services the internet provides for business and for communication.

2. Spanish-dominant hispanics (assuming this refers to the language barrier?) have the lowest rate of internet users at 32%. However, English-speaking hispanics have the highest percentage of internet users in terms of an ethnic group.

3. Rich people, as most may assume, have the highest percentage of internet users at 95%. This is surprising because it means 5% of those people still don't use the internet which causes me to wonder how they keep their net worth so high.

4. Suburban areas (77%) have more internet users than urban areas (74%) which was surprising because I assumed with more condensed cities and higher populations that cities would have more internet users than suburbs.

5. College graduates are the second group with the highest percentage of internet users. 91% of college graduates use the internet.

6. 18-29 year olds have the highest percentage of internet users by age with 90%. 30-49 year olds have the second highest rate at 85% but senior citizens (65+) have the lowest percent with 35%. This proves that the internet is powered by the younger generations and the business class.
