The Swiss use the Internet diligently

The latest Net-Metrix-Base 2008-2 Internet study shows that almost 60 percent of Swiss people aged 14 and over can no longer do without the Internet and surf the web daily or almost daily. Around eight years ago, only 14 percent of the population belonged to the group of "heavy users".
Eight years ago, online and offline users in the Swiss population were roughly equal. Today, only 20 percent or 1.2 million people do not use the internet at all. 60 percent of non-users are pensioners. Only nine percent are younger than 40 today - eight years ago it was 35 percent.
