People of color have a growing presence online..


In recent years the Pew Internet research group has done numerous studies into the presence of black people online. In the early years of 2000, the Internet and broadband were manly used by white people and at that time. To think of the internet you think of a computer. Computers were very expensive at one point and over the years to improve income. The Computer & laptop manufacturers began to lower prices and give out deals. So that more people could afford this new & better technology. Thats what i feel as though began this improvement of the black presence online. People that only could accord that technology had it. When i was younger, my way of using the computer was going to the Library. I know alot of other black people did the same as well and spanish. But White people went out and bought computers I think. Now today I not only have a computer at home. I also have a laptop. They've become more affordable which explains the increase of the black and spanish presence online from 11% to 21% and still continuing to increase.
