In the first quarter of 2008, 70% of all households that had at least one member aged between 16-74, had a home computer. This has been rising each year since 2005 when the level recorded was 55%. Almost 9 in every 10 of those households had their computer connected to the internet (89%), compared with 82% in 2005. As a result of both these trends overall household internet connection levels rose significantly between 2005 and 2008, from 45% to 62%, according to the CSO.
