The rapid adoption of computer and Internet technology by the U.S. population has raised many questions. Which households have computers, and which have Internet access? Do children have the access to computer technology that they need to prepare them for jobs in a human capital economy? Do some children have access while others do not? Who uses the Internet, among both children and adults? How might this use change society? This report uses Current Population Survey (CPS) data to address some of the primary questions raised by the nation’s changing technological base.
