    Yes...

  • I don't, but I know people who do. It's incredibly frustrating trying to call them on their home phone, as the line is constantly tied up with the internet.

    This paper http://www.pewinternet.org/pdfs/PIP_Broadband_tren... is a bit old, but it discusses the trends of broadband adoption in the United States. According to this, in 2006, of those with a household income of under 30K, only 21% had broadband at home. At the other end, of those with an income of over 75K, 68% had broadband at home. This is lower than I thought. I guess for people who use the internet for little more than sending a few quick emails and checking the news, broadband isn't really a priority.

    Lots of people. I do computer service on the side and about 50% of the people I work with have dial-up. It kills me.

    Technology is a broad concept that deals with a species' usage and knowledge of tools and crafts, and how it affects a species' ability to control and adapt to its environment. In human society, it is a consequence of science and engineering, although several technological advances predate the two concepts. Technology is a term with origins in the Greek "technologia", "τεχνολογία" — "techne", "τέχνη" ("craft") and "logia", "λογία" ("saying").[1] However, a strict definition is elusive; "technology" can refer to material objects of use to humanity, such as machines, hardware or utensils, but can also encompass broader themes, including systems, methods of organization, and techniques. The term can either be applied generally or to specific areas: examples include "construction technology", "medical technology", or "state-of-the-art technology".
