Internet Demographics

There have been some interesting figures published over the last few weeks about internet demographics which we thought you might be interested in. Of course, being the internet these figures are already out of date! However, they are interesting to see both the growth of the net which we all know about, but also the typical user, which has changed from the typical student, to the typical high income male.
