Another Microsoft Bloggera weblog by cameron reillynewsflash: the internet is popular with Gen X & Y- March 30, 2004 I had a laugh to myself reading this article today about a study conducted by the Online Publishers Association which analyzes the Internet habits of 18-to-34-year-olds, and guess what it found Gen X and Y have embraced the Web in a big way.
