A New Generation of Americans

Published January 7, 2008 3:11pm ET



A new generation of Americans has never known a world without the Internet:

Interestingly, based on U.S. Census Bureau statistics, 25 percent of all Americans alive at this moment have never known a world without the Internet and Internet access. That represents 75 million Americans who consider going online as natural as turning on the TV or cooking something in the microwave oven.

Michael Barone points out in the new Almanac of American Politics that “almost none of today’s voters remember the 1930s and fewer than half of them remember the 1970s.” Also, they seem to really like Barack Obama. And yes, you are growing old. (HT: The inimitable Joe Carter.)
