Internet Plays A Large Role For U.S. Citizens
Homework Help writes "The latest U.S. Census Bureau report suggests that the Internet has become an integral part of the American lifestyle and economy." From the article: "It shows 40 percent of U.S. adults used the Web to obtain news, weather or sports information, a dramatic increase from the 7 percent who surfed in 1997, when the bureau conducted a similar study. The report also found that nearly half of adults, 47 percent, used the Internet to find information on products or services. About one-third reported purchasing a product or service online, compared with only 2 percent who did so in 1997."
TV also popular.
Radio popular, but not as popular as it was in the 1930s.
NFL football quite popular as a spectator sport.

Be a real patriot: Question authority. Think for yourself. Formulate your own conclusions.
I got the pages from the 1930 census - the first one my father was on - there is a category for whether they had a radio in the house or not. He didn't but the Camarco family next door did. Yes, I teased him about it.

WTF is the internet?
Internet penetration is only 80% in Denmark?
I can find 100% penetration on the internet without even trying, and I live in puritan America!
Reality has a conservative bias: it conserves mass, energy, momentum...
