A PEW/Internet and American Life Study found that the place most Americans turn to for answers is the Internet. The study found that 76% of Americans have Internet access and 58% turn to the Internet for questions to important issues. Some of the other findings include:

• 77% of people have high speed Internet access
• 43% use the Internet at least once a day from their work (yes, that includes your employees)
• 59% go online at least once a day from home
• 77% Gen Y (18-30) use the Internet for answers
• 35% of those age 62-73 use the Internet for answers
• 91% of Americans with a household income over $40,000 use the Internet
• 61% of Americans with a household income UNDER $40,000 use the Internet

No earth shattering info here, just more evidence of the growth in the use of the Internet. The point is that people are using the Internet to find information and yes, that includes trying to find a lawyer online.
