GVU's Seventh WWW User Survey General Graphs

Primary Place of WWW Access

Notes:

As with the Sixth and Fifth Surveys, the majority of respondents report that they primarily access the web from home, though there was an increase six months ago from the Fifth to the Sixth Surveys (60.38% Seventh vs. 63.6% Sixth vs. 55.40% Fifth). In Europe, however, only 40.10% (36.7% Sixth) report having their primary access from home (46.98% report having it from work). Across all age groups, most access the web primarily from home, but that is especially true for users over age 50 (78.1%). There are no observable gender differences.
