More Than Half of US Population Online - Minorities Make Significant Gains

The Pew Internet Project's report "More Online, Doing More" shows that the
number of people in the US with Internet access rose from 88 million in
the first half of 2000 to 104 million by the second half, and that 56
percent of American adults have Internet access. On a typical day at the
end of 2000, 58 million Americans were logging on - an increase of 9
million people in the daily Internet population from mid-year.

Pew calculated the number of American children with online as 45 percent
of those under 18, and almost three-quarters of those in middle school and
high school (ages 12 to 17) have access; with 29 percent of those under 12
going online. Pew also found that by the end of 2000, certain digital
divisions narrowed. For example, the number of women online grew to 55
percent at the end of 2000. The number of African-Americans with Internet
connections increased to 44 percent, and the number of people with access
whose yearly salary is less than $30,000 rose to 49 percent by the end of
2000.
