Internet Usage in the US


Internet Usage in the US - Overview

As of June 2008, there were over 220 million internet users in the United States according to Internet World Statistics, a source for internet usage and population information. Nearly 73% of the American population.

In just a short period of time, Internet usage in the United States has steadily evolved from a mere curiosity for many, and an interest for only the tech savvy, to a mainstream form of communication for most Americans. Internet penetration has more than doubled in the past 10 years, reaching nearly 73% of the American population. The population is diverse:
Over half of Americans now have a high-speed Internet connection in their homes, compared to only 5% in 2000.

The Internet draws an ethnically diverse crowd, with 12% of the Internet population being Hispanic and 11% African American in 2008.
Once considered a male-dominated media, the Internet now attracts a comparable number of women. Use of the Internet is beginning to out-pace traditional media, as evidenced by the fact that Generation Y spends more time online than watching TV.
