Internet Use Grows to 69 Percent of US Adults

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday January 19, 2004 @05:04AM 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."

"*jerk-off motion with hand*"

I'm still looking for a good emoticon for that gesture to use in message forums.
