The Pew Internet and American Life Project, a non-profit effort that examines the impact of the internet on the lives of Americans, just released a study reporting that 73% of all American adults use the internet. Internet users also report big improviements in their ability to work, shop, pursue hobbies and obtain information online. This study also confirms that young people use the internet the most - 88% of 18-29 year-olds now go online while only 32% of those 65 and older do - and that education is an important indicator if internet use. Only 53% of adults in households earning less than $30,000 per year go online while more than 91% of those in households earning above $75,000 use the internet.
