The Harris Poll® #41, May 24, 2006
Over Three-Quarters of All U.S. Adults – An Estimated 172 million – Now Go Online
According to the latest Harris Poll, the number of adults who are online at home, in the office, at school, library or other locations continues to grow at a steady rate. In the past year, the number of online users has reached an estimated 172 million, a five percent increase.
In research among 2,032 U.S. adults surveyed by telephone in February and April 2006, Harris Interactive® found that 77 percent of adults are now online, up from 74 percent in February/April 2005, 66 percent in the spring of 2002, 64 percent in 2001 and 57 percent in spring of 2000. When Harris Interactive first began to track Internet use in 1995, only nine percent of adults reported they went online.
Internet access increases at home and at work
The proportion of adults who are now online at home has risen to 70 percent, up from 66 percent in 2005 and 55 percent in the spring of 2002. The percentage of those online at work has not really changed (35% now, 36% in 2005) yet is still up from 30 percent in the spring of 2002. Adults who are online at a location other than their home or work also remains steady at 22 percent (21% in 2005, 19% in the spring of 2002).
The demographic profile of Internet users in the United States looks like the country as a whole
As Internet penetration rises, the demographic profile of Internet users continues to look more like that of the nation as a whole. It is still true that more young than older people, and more affluent than low-income people, are online. However, eight percent of those online are now age 65 or over (compared to 16% of all adults who are 65 or over), 39 percent of those online (compared to 47% of all adults) did not go to college and 14 percent have incomes of less than $25,000 (compared to 19% of all adults).
Now, why not add up all the time you spend on the Internet and let us know in our poll? You might surprise yourself.
Lets see i wake up log in while getting a coffee, and log out just before bed. Ok sometimes i may indulge myself in normal day to day living but not very often, cos its to scary.
So what i need to know is why does this poll stop at 63 hours??
I suspect that most here will be at the higher end of the timescale. Its quite surprising when you add up all those `bits of time` that goes on the `puter.
huh...it too much for me.
1)working/day-8hour<---online
2)after work<---home online
3)1 week 7 day
4)non-stop except sleep will stop
It looks like your fairly `normal,` Amnesia. Judging by those who`ve voted thus far, most are in the higher range of time spent rather than the lower end. But, that could of course be because those who don`t spend much time on the `net didn`t have time to see this poll and vote in it.
