Social participation by American Internet users is described in the latest survey from the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project. Their research shows how the Internet is impacting users’ engagement with civic and social groups. Pew reports:
The internet is now deeply embedded in group and organizational life in America. A new national survey by the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project has found that 75% of all American adults are active in some kind of voluntary group or organization and internet users are more likely than others to be active: 80% of internet users participate in groups, compared with 56% of non-internet users. And social media users are even more likely to be active: 82% of social network users and 85% of Twitter users are group participants.
