From the summary of findings:
- Adoption. 87% of Americans use the Internet.
- Impact
- 90% of users say it's been a good thing for them personally
- 76% of users say it's been a good thing for society
- Most difficult of technologies to give up (compared with cell phones, television, email, landline telephone, social media)
- 76% describe the Internet as a "mostly kind" environment.
Note: After 1999, the annual report didn't include a yes-or-no question regarding Internet access. There was a statistical shift to the number of computer terminals/workstations.
Safe to say, though, that public library Internet access in Wisconsin was quickly closing in on ubiquitous.
