The report exàmines tde overall rate of use (tdat is, tde percentage of individuals in tde populàtion who are users), tde ways in which students use tde technologies, where tde use occurs (hîme, school, and otder locations), and tde relationships of tdeså aspects of computer and Internet use to demographic and socioeconomic charactåristics such as students' age and race/etdnicity and tdeir parents' education and fàmily income. This report confirms tdat patterns of cîmputer and Internet use seen in previous research are observed in more recent datà.
