Frequency of WWW Use

---

Notes:

• NOTE: The percentage for European users should be 0.0%, not the 13.22% indicated. This will be fixed as soon as possible. Likewise, the number in the table should be 0.

• For this question, we mean how many time you use the Web for a specific set of tasks or activities. We do not mean how many times the browser is launched per day.

• 43.6% of respondents use the Web 1 to 4 times a day. 37.9% use it more frequently, and 18.5% use it less frequently. compared to the fourth survey, this indicates a slight rise in the percentage of respondents using the Web on a daily basis.

Notes:

• Fewer females use their browsers on a daily basis: 72.2% of females compared to 86.6% of males. Both of these percentages, however, are higher than in the fourth survey.

Notes:

• The largest category for all age groups uses the Web 1 to 4 times a day.

• Older users don't use the Web as many times per day as younger users.
