We are looking forward to being the premier website of Central New York. Servicing current and
past Central New York residents, by providing them access to the activities and resources in
Syracuse and it's surrounding areas.
36% of all African-American adults, about 7.5 million people, had Internet access in 2000, up from
23% in 1998.
- "African-Americans and the Internet," Pew Internet & American Life Project, October 2000
In the United States, the so-called "digital divide" seems to be disappearing. In early 2000, a poll
found that, where half of white households owned computers, 43% of African-American
households owned them also, and their numbers were growing rapidly. Eighty percent of U.S.
homes will have computers in 2005, compared with roughly 50% now. Computer competence will
approach 100% in U.S. urban areas by the year 2005.
