NEW JERSEYANS ON THE WEB Access Is Up, But Many Still Lag Behind
New Jerseyans are cruising the information super- highway in higher numbers than ever before. Seven-in-ten New Jerseyans now have a home computer where they live, and three out of every five use a computer from home or work to go on-line at least weekly. Despite this relative saturation, however, large gaps in access remain: older and less affluent residents have limited access.

PUBLIC SAYS HOME COMPUTERS ARE HERE TO STAY; MOST SEE BENEFITS FROM COMPUTERS IN THE WORKPLACE

Residents are evenly split, however, on whether computers in the workplace are taking jobs away from people.
