'"It may sometimes seem as if everyone's on the Internet, but one in five Americans says he or she has never been online and a third say they don't even use the Web occasionally, according to a new survey.
The survey by the non-profit Pew Internet & American Life Project also shows there is still a significant digital divide between those who use and don't use the Internet, especially when it comes to race and income.
About 70 percent of white Americans use the Internet, compared with 57 percent of African Americans, according to the survey. There is an emerging new divide among those who have high-speed "broadband" Internet access and those who don't, said Susannah Fox, associate director of the Pew project."
Many news sites move articles into data bases after a period of time and then offer them for sale, in the process changing the URLs that link to them. Or they require registration. Thus, we provide a link to the front page of the news website and the information necessary to find the story on that site, rather than a direct link to the article.
