Asian-Americans and the Internet: The Young and the Connected
12/12/2001 |
Report | Tom Spooner
Asian Americans who speak English are one of the most connected groups in the country. Internet penetration is significantly higher among Asian Americans than it is for all other ethnic groups. Asian Americans are also predominantly veteran users who typically use the Internet more often and for a longer duration than other ethnic groups. As a result of this heavy use, the Internet is more integrated into the daily lives of Asian Americans, who are more likely to engage in many Internet activities on a day-to-day basis than users of other ethnicities. Asian American Internet users are also relatively more educated and wealthier than users of other ethnicities. The Asian American user population is also the youngest.
