Orange County residents are more likely to have computers, and far more likely to use online services for business purposes, than most state residents, according to a survey recently conducted by Nelson Communications Group in Irvine.
The survey of 800 adults statewide found that San Francisco has the highest concentration of computer owners, 65%, compared to 53% in Orange County. About 33% of Orange County respondents said they surf the Internet, with 25% reporting that they do so for “mostly business” purposes--double the statewide average.
And, (big surprise), Orange County residents are more likely to favor laws policing online pornography than most Californians. About 51% in Orange County favor such laws, compared to 45% statewide.
