A new study from the Pew Research Center found that
Americans head online quite often. In fact, 73% of respondents said they use
the Internet “almost constantly,” while just 7% reported using it less often
than “several times a week.”
Younger generations lead the Internet charge. More than
90% of teens said they go online daily, while 36% of those ages 18-29 claimed
they were in the “almost constantly” category. Time on the Internet dropped as
the age groups got older.
More than 85% of the respondents who owned either a
smartphone or a tablet, or both, said they used the Internet daily. Even 65% of
those who didn’t have a smartphone or tablet reported logging in on a daily
basis, according to a report in Pymnts.com.
Twenty-nine percent of college graduates reported being
on the Internet more, compared to just 14% of those with a high school diploma
or less. In addition, those earning $75,000 a year (28%) went online more than
those earning $30,000 or less (14%).
