Online teens continue to lead active offline lives. The percentage of online teens in this survey who say they used the internet at school is 75%, up from 64% in 2000 the number who used it at someone elseвЂ™s house is 70%, a modest increase from the 64% who did so in 2000 and the number who use it at libraries is 50%, up significantly from 36% of online teens in 2000.

While the percentage of teens who access the internet from home has stayed relatively constant, the percentage of teens who report accessing the internet from school, from someone elseвЂ™s house, and from the library has varied over time. The convenience of home access enables frequent internet use in ways that school or library-based internet access do not. Home access matters because online teens who access the internet from home are more likely to access the internet multiple times a day than teens who access the internet from somewhere other than home. This is fairly consistent with our survey data from 20, which showed that a similar percentage of teens accessing the internet from home. In 2006, 89% of teens accessed the internet from home. Fully 93% of teens use the internet, and teen use of the internet has intensified in recent years.
