Latino adults in the United States are less likely than their white or black counterparts to use the Internet, according to a study released on Thursday by the Pew Research Center. The study underscores English dominance of the online world and highlights educational and income gaps between Hispanics and other Americans. It found that 56 percent of adult Latinos in the United States reported using the Internet compared to 71 percent of white adults and 60 percent of blacks. Education for all groups was the biggest factor determining who trawls cyber-space and who does not. If you didn't finish high school, you probably won't be reading this online. "Nine-in-ten (89 percent) Latinos with a college degree go online, compared with 70 percent of Latinos who completed high school, and only 31 percent of Latinos who did not complete high school," said the center.
