Statistics About Internet Use

From the Pew Internet & American Life Project: a deep stack of surveys, via a uwebd post.

“The Pew Internet & American Life Project will create and fund original, academic-quality research that explores the impact of the Internet on children, families, communities, the work place, schools, health care and civic/political life. The Project aims to be an authoritative source for timely information on the Internet’s growth and societal impact, through research that is impartial.”

The major findings from their survey on using the Internet to research major life decisions caught my attention.

“36% of the Internet users who chose a school or college for themselves or their children say their use of the Internet played a crucial/important role.”
