Additional Information

Scope of Report

The Internet Generation is defined as including individuals who have spent at least 20% of their lifetimes after the age of 2 potentially exposed to the Internet. The dawn of the Internet era was 1995, when at-home access to the Internet began to be increasingly widespread through consumer-oriented Internet service providers. The oldest members of the Internet Generation are 24 years of age in 2000, and the youngest members are kids over the age of 2.

This Packaged Facts analysis concentrates on members of the Internet Generation who have access to the Internet at their place of residence. The following four segments of the Internet Generation are analyzed:

  • The Kids Segment of the Internet Generation includes those ages 2 to 7 years with at-home Internet access.
  • The Tweens Segment includes those in the 8- to 13-year-old age group with Internet access at home.
  • The Teens Segment includes 14- to 17-year-olds with Internet access at home.
  • The College Segment focuses on analyzing the market represented by full-time students at four-year colleges who have Internet access at their place of residence.
