a majorité des Québécois ont accès à un ordinateur et à un branchement internet, la moitié possèdent un ordinateur portable et le quart, un téléphone intelligent. Nous sommes branchés de plus en plus longtemps et les nouvelles technologies sont en train de bouleverser notre façon de vivre, de penser, de communiquer. La question n'est plus de savoir ce que peuvent accomplir tous ces nouveaux appareils, mais plutôt de nous demander: que pouvons-nous faire grâce à eux?

The Internet Age is here.  The effective use of this technology and all that it can provide is a key to success for businesses and individuals.  Knowing this, the Obama Administration seeks to ensure that all Americans have affordable access to broadband Internet services.  Accomplishing that goal, however, requires a set of facts about Internet use that can underpin and guide this policy objective. In Exploring the Digital Nation: Home Broadband Internet Adoption in the United States, the Commerce Department fulfills its promise to provide authoritative, nationally-comprehensive data on access to the Internet throughout the United States.  This new study follows the February 2010 NTIA research preview, Digital Nation: 21st Century America's Progress Toward Universal Broadband Internet Access. Both studies draw on the Census Bureau's Current Population Survey Internet Use Supplement, a survey of approximately 54,000 households conducted over one week in October 2009.  The Census data show increases in adoption of broadband services at home over time for virtually all demographic groups.  The data also reveal that demographic disparities among groups have tended to persist. Persons with high incomes, those who are younger, Asians and Whites, the more highly-educated, married couples, and the employed tend to have higher rates of broadband use at home.  Conversely, persons with low incomes, seniors, minorities, the less-educated, non-family households, and the nonemployed tend to lag behind other groups in home broadband use. The new study takes the analysis to another level.

The US is a long way from its goal of making broadband Internet available to all 314 million Americans. In its third annual broadband progress report, the Federal Communications Commission says 19 million Americans have no option to buy fixed broadband Internet service, and an additional 100 million Americans that do live in areas where broadband is available are not subscribers.

Le pourcentage des ménages canadiens branché à Internet haute vitesse a atteint 54 % l'an dernier, selon l'édition 2011 du Rapport de surveillance des communications du Conseil de la radiodiffusion et des télécommunications canadiennes (CRTC).
