If you know of a small business owner who doesn’t have a website or any presence on social media, print this out and hand it to them. Nearly 90 percent of Americans today are online, up from about 50 percent in the early 2000s, according to the Pew Research Center. Pew has chronicled the growth trends related to internet usage through more than 15 years of surveys on internet and technology use. Here are four key trends illustrating the current technology landscape in the U.S. as we begin 2017.
