'"A new divide has developed between those who have high-speed connections to the Internet and those stuck with slow dial-up access, a report released yesterday said.
Elderly, less educated and low-income users are less likely to enjoy high-speed Internet access than younger, college-educated, upper-income users, according to the report by the Pew Internet & American Life Project, which researches the impact of the Internet.
The report said that 53 percent of home Internet users have residential high-speed connections, up from 21 percent in 2002, but that some have been left in the digital dust. "The groups who were initially most likely to lag in adopting the Internet now lag in access speed," the report said.
Education was the most important factor in determining whether someone would have high-speed access, said Susannah Fox, associate director of Pew Internet and author of the report."
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.
