Introduction. This Researchwill Illustrate How Do People

In 2008, approximately 12%, or 36 million people not living in nursing homes or other residential care facilities, had a disability

Internet has become an indispensable tool in my daily tasks. Contrary; when I was a child, I recall myself going to the library for investigations as back then the use of internet was still on the road of gaining popularity. Nowadays, internet seems to have gained tremendous popularity among new generations to the point that if I were to compare my generation with future generations, I would say they will have even more advantages than the ones I had when I was a child. In addition, changes in population is a second normative history-grade influence as my generation tends to have less children than past generations due to the implementation of contraceptive methods and living cost increases experienced since the past few

Communication with our society and the aptitude for reading has been transformed by the Internet as we, no matter who we are or what we use, adapt to the mechanism of technology and become a less intelligent, shallow community. Due to the many hours we spend on our electronic devices and the fast-paced reading we’ve adjusted to, our brains have become psychologically less perceptive of how the Internet is affecting our everyday lives. We need to make note of our daily habits and how much time we spend online, for the Internet will continue to affect generation after

In today's world, one would assume that America is hitting all the marks, when in reality we are falling short in what may count the most. We are not meeting the basic needs of our largest minority group, mentally and physically disabled people. Lack of accessibility is a difficult hurdle for both physically and cognitively disabled people. Lawmakers have a duty to everyone in America, not just the able, and encouraging accessibility in the public is the first step in the right direction.

59% of seniors report they go online—a six-percentage point increase in the course of a year—

The use of the Internet has become increasingly popular in everyday activities of many Americans. The convenience and wealth of information at hand makes it a practical tool for managing day-to-day activities, communicating and staying in touch with friends, shopping, and many other activities. Deborah Fallows wrote an article, The Internet and Daily Life, based on a survey and research conducted through the Pew Research Center. Fallows indicated in the article that “88% of online Americans say the Internet plays a role in their daily routines. The activities they identified as most significant are communicating with family and friends and finding a wealth of information at their fingertips.” She also concluded from the survey that “64% of Internet users say their daily routines and activities would be

To further slim down our market we looked at specific demographics according to gender, income, and approximate age of individuals with disabilities. In 2012, there was a survey conducted on the age and gender of individuals in Canada who had disabilities (Statistics Canada, 2013). Out of those from 15 to 24, 2.2% had a psychological disability, 2.0% had a learning disability and 1.9% had a pain disability (Statistics Canada, 2013, para. 4). Among those aged 45 to 64, 12.7%

Hi Abbie, Thank you for sharing your information. I thought Internet was just for young people. But I was surprised that many older adults were using the Internet. Many of older adults have enthusiastically adopted it to keep up with the times as well as their old acquaintances and younger family members. Many grandparents are becoming proficient in alien things like Skype and Facebook. It has beneficial effects on mental health. According to the Pew Research Center, social networking use among internet users ages 50 and older has nearly doubled from 22% to 42% over the past year. My grandmother is 79 years old and she is better at Internet than me. Good

Since its introduction on a public scale in the 1990s, the internet has been associated with many changes in social experience. Many aspects of social life such as education, work, commerce and even personal relationships have changed through the internet. However, researchers have found that, at least in the early years, access to the internet is shaped according to gender, class, ethnicity and education. During the 1990s the typical information technology user was a white, male, professional with a background in IT. This bias in internet access was named the ‘digital divide’ to point out the implied social inequalities. It was said that the internet was

There are two reasons for this conflicting evidence. The first reason would be different studies use several kinds of populations, data sets and disability measures. These differences are known to affect disability estimates and trends over time. The second reason is very complex. Several analysts have reported that disability rates have declined even though the occurrence of diseases have increased. This has occurred because the relationship between disability and health changed over time due to effective diagnostic practices, improvements in management of the disease, better supportive devices and improvements in accessibility features. Disability rates do not reflect improving health.

The issue of the Internet having psychological benefits has two sides, as does any issue. James E. Katz and Philip Aspden present the yes side of this issue. Katz and Aspden used a national random telephone survey to back up their side on the issue. The survey conducted in October of 1995 compiled the individuals who took the survey into five specific groups. The groups consisted of those not aware of the Internet, non-users aware of the Internet, former users, recent users-those who started using the Internet in 1995, and longtime users-those who started using the Internet prior to 1995. The survey questioned community involvement (community, leisure, and religious,) involvement in existing communities (face to face, family, Internet,)

We must also learn why the user depends too much on the internet. We must identify the reason behind this study. According to Kaye (1998), he identified that six possible motives for using the internet are entertainment, social, interaction, pass time, escape, information and website preference.

According the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the number of people aged 15-64 years (working age population) increased by 1.6% (or 237,700 persons) in the year ended 30 June 2010.

A report published early in the year (https://www.ons.gov.uk/businessindustryandtrade/itandinternetindustry/bulletins/internetusers/2017) shows, 9 out of 10 adults in the UK are recent internet users. Nearly 8 out of 10 users from 65-74 years age group access internet.

As stated by ONS (office for national statistics) in 2014, 38 million adults (76%) in Great Britain accessed the Internet every day, 21 million more than in 2006 as well as 22 million households (84%) having Internet access in 2014, up from 57% in 2006. The dramatic increase in internet usage and access can indicate the widespread of such a fashionable tool; however it is known that as well as being an effective
