Report | Lee Rainie Dan Packel
During the second half of 2000, when much attention was focused on the struggles of dot-com firms, the overall Internet population continued to grow at a healthy clip as women, minorities, those earning between $30,000 and $50,000 flocked online, and parents with children at home flocked online. The number of American adults with Internet access grew from about 88 million to more than 104 million during that period of time. The increase in online access by all kinds of Americans highlights the fact that the Internet population looks more and more like the overall population of the United States. However, there are still some notable demographic differences when it comes to access, especially those related to age and household income.
