Who Uses the Internet?

Who's Online?

Taken from the March 1998 issue of Technology and Learning Magazine, (www.techlearning.com) it is not surprising to learn that in one year, the percentage of schools with Internet access has doubled. 

The graph below illustrates relative use in education, home and businesses. Numbers are represented in thousands for visual comparison only. Internet use is actually in the millions. (Example: 10,000 is really 10 million!)

The interactive form displays input in a bar graph. The graph changes based on user input. (Give it a try by entering some new numbers to see how the bars change!)
