A Lesser Common Thread At Home For Some People

While home is still the most popular place to surf the web, there are at least other choices. People that have no net access at home are most likely to borrow some time at a friend's house above all other places.

A huge number of those that don't have home access will use their job as a place to get online. Even people that do have web access at home will still use the office computer to get online for a variety of reasons, not all of them work related. The most common place for people to get online at no cost, other than using a friend's access, would be at the public library. It is not all books at the library anymore. You can now rent movies, use the web, and even go to classes at some locations.

Internet access is available across a wide spectrum. This includes schools, community centers that offer classes, many of them free to people who want to learn more about the computer, internet and the web. Researches and teachers realize the importance of starting students early on the road to learning and using the computer and tap into all the benefits that it offers as well as the dangers they should be aware of. This training can help a child use this powerful tool to maximize the life benefits it can offer with the right training.

In the US the percentage of people that don't get online at all is around 25 percent. That means that a quarter of the population has no idea or interest in what is going on online. For such a large and developed nation it is pretty surprising that there are still so many that don't get online. The number is certainly higher though in those places with large tracks of rural land and less developed societies.

There have been several studies with compiled data about people who don't make internet use part of their daily routine and it is believe that the level of education a person has influences many of the decisions they make. It has been documented that less educated people don't place a high value on the internet and thus is less likely to use it when compared with someone who is more educated. Other factors include annual income. The results indicate that education and money do influence internet use and non use.
