Pew Internet: Digital Divisions

Pew Internet: Digital Divisions

This October 2005 report discusses not only differences between people with and without Internet access (the "traditional" digital divide), but also differentiates between those with broadband connections and dial-up connections, suggesting a new demographic aspect of the digital divide. In addition to the PDF report "Digital Divisions," this page also has links to other related presentations and reports. Of particular interest is the presentation "Internet Usage Trends--Through the Demographic Lens."

This site offers an incredible amount of informationg on how Americans use the Internet and other technology and how Internet changes the everyday life of Americans. By the end of 2005, 50 million Americans got news online on a typical day; One can find out how men and women are using internet in different ways and for different purpose; 60 million Americans say that the internet helped them make big decisions or negotiate their way through major episodes in their lives; I found particulary interesting an article about cell phones http://www.pewinternet.org/PPF/r/179/report_display.asp. According to the text some 41% of cell phone owners say they fill in free time when they are traveling or waiting for someone by making phone calls. Amazing!
