I'm writing a research paper regarding the Internet users' email and
browser usage behavior.
I need answers/data on the following 4 questions:
1. How many Internet users in USA have email access, but do NOT have
browser access?
2. How many Internet users in USA have email access, but have
difficulties to use browser for any reason other than preference
(limitations by knowdlege of the user, speed of Internet, computer
CPU/memory, etc.)?
3. How many Internet users in USA have email access, but use email
instead of browser because of preference (assuming they can achieve
the same results)?
4. When using email is better than using browser?
Please answer the questions in terms of USA Internet users and answer
them again in terms of Internet users around the world (including
USA).
Please note that:
1. The answers can be in terms of percentages or actual numbers.
2. Please give as much information as you could and please specify
where the information comes
from.
3. Data/statistics from different levels of the governments,
organization, media or famous businesses are acceptable.
4. Articles/statistics in other languages are also acceptable.
Please let me know if you have additional questions.
Thanks! |

Nobody has any question? Please note that you don't have to give excat
answer for each question. Due to the nature of the questions, we
understand that the answers may not be easily available.

I do not understand these two questions:
3. How many Internet users in USA have email access, but use email
instead of browser because of preference (assuming they can achieve
the same results)?
4. When using email is better than using browser?
Email is used in communication between persons, and browsers are used
in accessing the Web, but you seem to imply that they are somehow
interchangeable methods of doing the same thing. It's a bit like
asking "When is using the telephone better than using the television?"

Sorry for not stating it clearly.
In some cases, email and browser are interchangeable. For example, if
you need to file a Service Request or requesting more information from
a merchant, you can go to the website and fill out a web form, or as a
alternative, you can send an email.
In fact, most web-based forms will generate an email at the end and
send it to the webmasters.
Basically my question is, in the cases where email and browser are
interchangeable, how many people prefer using email over using
browser.
Let me know if I didn't answer your question.
Thanks!

That does make things clearer. I hope another Researcher will be able
to find the information you need.
If time is of the essence, you may want to consider raising your fee.
In view of the fact that you are asking four rather difficult
questions which may take many hours to research, $20 might not attract
the attention of a professional in this field.
