City Report Shows Level of Tech Access and Adoption…and Barriers to Participation
The City has released the results of its survey on Intenet use by Seattle residents, showing greater use, interest in high speed Internet, and a lagging digital divide. The 2009 Information Technology Access and Adoption Report finds that Seattle has reached a new plateau in connectivity with almost 84% of households having Internet and 74% with higher speed services, mostly through cable and dsl. However this was significcantly lower for some population groups. Education and income were found to be the strongest two predictors of information technology adoption, but there were also significant differences based on ethnicity, language, disability and age.
