Hispanics have traditionally trailed behind other groups when it comes to Internet use, but according to a recent Pew Hispanic report, they are closing the gap.
From 2006-2008, Internet use among Latino adults rose 10 percent, compared to four percent for whites and only two percent for Afro-Americans. Much of this growth in use is by Latino adults not traditionally known for Internet use, such as the foreign-born, those without high-school diplomas or with household incomes under $30,000. Along with the increase in use, broadband access has also risen, and mobile Web browsing remains stronger among Hispanics than for other ethnicities.
Internet use grew from 54 to 64 percent among Hispanics from 2006-2008. They are now as likely as African-Americans to be online, though both groups still lag behind non-Hispanic whites.
