Americans living with disability and their technology profile

1169
http://www.pewinternet.org/Reports/2011/Disability.aspx
A 2010 Pew survey showed that 27% of Americans live with disabilities that interfere with daily living. Two percent have a disability or illness that makes it harder or impossible to use the Internet. Fifty-four percent with disabilities use the Internet compared with 81% who report no disability. Disability is associated with being older, less educated and living in a low-income household. In contrast, Internet use is statistically associated with being younger, college-educated and living in a higher-income household. When demographic factors are controlled, living with disability is negatively correlated with someone's likelihood of having Internet access.

This is the seventh edition of the report and uses indicators from 2004 with a number of new indicators.
