The chart illustrates the American female population across different age groups that used the internet in the years 2000 and 2001. Overall, a clear trend of declining internet usage with increasing age is evident, with some notable differences between the two years.
In 2000, internet usage was highest among females aged 12-15 with over 90% of them claiming to have used it. This number declined slowly within the 16-55 age group, with a slight decrease of 2%-6%. For women within the 45-55 age group, the number plummeted from almost a third to only less than half of them using the internet, then it dropped significantly to only a fifth of the female population accessing the internet for women aged 65 and older.
On the other hand, the data for 2001 shows a slight variation in trends. Notably, 100% of women aged 16-18 reported using the internet with over a 10% increase from the previous year. Additionally, there was a slight rise in the 35-45 age group, with internet usage jumping to 82%, compared to less than 70% in 2000.
Overall, the data indicates that as women age, they use the internet less, whereas the younger females tend to have the highest internet usage.
