Amanda’s presentation covered how teenagers, college students and their parents use the Internet.
The number of American adults downloading music continues to grow and two-thirds of those who download or share files say they don’t care whether the files are copyrighted or not.
This is a report of a study of college students’ use of electronic, video and online games. Seventy percent of college students surveyed reported playing games at least once in a while. The academic and social impacts of gaming are discussed.
John’s presentation provides data on broadband penetration to homes and highlights findings from the report “The Broadband Difference.”
The presentation highlights our findings about how broadband users are different from dial-up users.
Those who have home broadband connections use the Internet differently from those who have dial-up connections. Broadband users spend more time online, do more things, and do them more often than dial-up Internet users.
As Americans gain experience online, they use the Internet more for their jobs, to make more online purchases and carry out other financial transactions, and to write emails with more significant and intimate content.
Online Holiday shopping grew this season from the previous, though Internet users also increasingly use the Internet during the holiday season to search for information on travel, holiday crafts, recipes and traditions.
Between July-August 2000 and February 2001, the number of American adults who have downloaded music online shot up more than 40%. In another recent survey, 53% of online teens 12-17 reported downloading music.
Music downloaders exhibit little concern for copyright protections, but about half also say that they are still buying music that they’ve sampled online.
