Internet Use Grows to 69 Percent of US Adults

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the can-i-count-3-times dept.

NickABusey writes "According to Harris Interactive, more than two-thirds, or 69 percent of American adults were internet users last year. This is up from only 56 percent in 1999 and a measley 9 percent in 1995. Perhaps more noteworthy is the increase in users with high-speed Internet connections. In 2001 is was 22 percent, now it is up to 37 percent."

    That is some hideous stuff. Just to think, that ANYONE with enough brain cells to make a webpage, would then proceed to use yellow text on a non-black background. Ick.

    I knew society was going downhill, but this is truly sad news.
