The younger demographics are much more likely to be online. 18-29 has close to 90% penetration, while the 65+ has only 41%. + the major people who aren't online, are those who don't see the need for it. Needing it for their children, would change the situation. + you also also have geography to consider, Californians are much more likely to have internet access, than some farmers in Ohio.

    "Use the Internet" is different from "have the Internet in their home." Many if not most people do the bulk of their Internet usage in the office. Plus that study doesn't count kids what so ever. Oh, and it's a small issue that's probably not statistically relevant (due to the city populations) but for the record California consists of more farm land than it does cities. Primarily in Central and Northern regions.

  > only 73% of U.S. households have Internet access We have no reason to believe that cost is a factor here. I strongly suspect that many of the computer-less households contain an expensive TV set and a cable feed.
