This chart comes from... http://www.pewinternet.org/Reports/2009/Generations-Online-in-2009/Generational-Differences-in-Online-Activities/2-Internet-use-and-email.aspx
3 observations I made while overlooking this site and chart.
1) The Age Group 70-75 has had the largest increase in online users out of any age gropu from 2005 to 2008; jumping from 26% to 45%.
2) The age group 12-17 leads all age groups in online use at just over 90%, this is probably because they have more in class courses they help them increase their knowledge on the internet compared to the older groups.
3) Email is the most popular online activity, 74% of the people surveyed over 64 said they used email. However, email popularity has decreased amongst teens, 89% said they used it in 2004 and now only 73% say they use email. This is probably because of all the new social networks such as facebook, myspace, and twitter.
