Who's Online?

According to a survey conducted by International Demographics, Inc., internet usage continues to grow with 61.2% of the total adult population visiting the internet regularly in 2004 as compared with 54.9% in 2000. However, while the early stages of internet usage where fueled by young people in the US, most of the new growth comes from people age 55 and over. The percentage of individuals in the 55 to 64 year-old age category who use the internet rose from 45.8% in 2000 to 56.7% in 2004 while the percentage of those between the ages of 65 and 74 who use the internet rose from 26.2% to 35.9% during this same time period.
