About 126 million Americans--or 63 percent of adults--use the Internet regularly, a number that has leveled off in the past two years, the study finds. However, more people today than ever before use the Web for serious business, such as shopping, paying bills, banking, conducting other transactions, and interacting with government agencies.

I'm sure WHTers are a good example of this article :D

Let's see here... I buy most everything but food online, all my bills are paid online(except rent), and work in the internet sector.

Whoa, now I realize just how sad my life is. :(

And they wonder why teenagers are becomming increasingly anti-social!

Maybe the internet will become a thing like drinking.... No going online until you are 21... :eek:

I suppose it would solve a lot of problems (ie, no more 15yr old webhosts :D) But could potentially cause some of its own problems...

Aww but then I couldn't use the net.

Then again I do support an age ban on the net, I mean you can't even find the good porn until your 17 so what the point of using it j/k :D
