Wireless connections growing in the US

The growth of wireless Internet connections has been rapidly rising. According to the Pew Internet & American Life Project, close to one third of online surfers in the US connect to the web via a wireless connection, from a place other than work or home, using a laptop computer or a personal digital assistant. It was also found that consumers who have wireless access also check their email more and have greater online activities than other consumers. The report estimates that 40% of Internet consumers use a laptop, with over 80% using a wireless Internet connection. I do all my work on a laptop, as does my husband and between the two of us we have three laptops, two Internet connections and one wireless connection in the process of being set up. Using a laptop makes it so much easier to travel and connect with ease no matter where you are.
