The Online Generation(s)

By Brad

According to a new report from the Pew Internet and American Life Project, so-called Generation Y are the largest group of Internet users. That’s no real surprise. But other generations are quickly getting in on the act.

Some highlights from the report:

• Between 2006 and 2008, the largest increase in Internet users came from people aged 70-75.

• 74% of users over the age of 64 use the Internet primarily for email.

• Generation X (ages 33-44) are numero uno when it comes to shopping online.
