There are however statistically significant differences between groups when Internet access is analysed by age, income, place of residence, education and occupation. In short the survey shows that people with higher income and level of education are more likely to have access to the Internet than others. People under the age of 55 and residents of Reykjavik and the surrounding areas are also more likely to have access to the Internet than those who are 55 and older and residents in the country. This is however not a significant difference. More people use the Internet many times a day now than in September 2000.
Men use the Internet significantly more often each week than women.
The highest agegroup uses the Internet the least while Internet use increases with higher income and level of education. These results are similar to last year's. Men are significantly more likely to have purchased goods or services over the Internet than women. People over the age of of fifty are less likely to have made purchases over the Internet than those younger. More women than men have taken courses or studied computing.
