U.S. Home Internet Access up to 75%

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."

So all those email solicitations I've been getting lately from lonely housewives were real?

OSDN Personals?

"internet access is highest among females 35-54" So thats why there are 3 girls registered on the OSDN Personals instead of the one that had her pic put in the banner. That would account for the huge jump =)

Age Distribution

M / F 2 - 17 49,078 63,270 77.60%

Going by all the trolls on ./, I think the distribution must be close to the 2-year old end.

No, Internet access is actually highest among middle aged men who call themselves "Debra".

The Internet - where men are men, women are men, and children are FBI agents.

I actually go to the trouble of putting in funky information to throw off thier aggregate numbers. I like a 99 year old female with a grade school education and a 100k+/year salary. When they ask country of residence, the top two options are usually US then Afghanistan. It's just asking for Afghanistan.

Why am I still getting these freakin AOL disks?

I hope there was a scientific poll done for this. If they relied on asking people their sex in AOL chatrooms, they may have to downgrade that number. /jk

As if teens didn't have enough to worry about...

"Interestingly, among age/gender groups, internet access is highest among females 35-54."

And you thought mom was busy balancing the checkbook online....

Now all you teenagers now get to face the fact that 'HotChick69' you've been eagerly getting busy with in the chat rooms may in fact be just down the hall.

The horror... the horror...

Your Mom Jokes?

Yeah, hold on! I thought it was about their suffering, and it was cute that they didn't know how to spell. That whole thing was about voting? Damn, those women can be crafty...

That's because the girls are running servers...
