U.S. Home Internet Access up to 75%

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the come-read-slashdot-do-it dept.

waytoomuchcoffee writes "Over 200 million U.S. residents now have access to the internet at home, or 3/4 of the U.S. population. This is quite a jump, as only 51% of U.S. homes had access to the internet in August of 2000. Interestingly, among age/gender groups, internet access is highest among females 35-54."

    Doesn't surprise me. That "FBI bot" news probably made Taco and his buddies shit their pants. The more they can bury it, the better.
