The 2008 Broadband Improvement Act mandated the collection of data about computer and internet use. As a result, three questions were added to the 2013 American Community Survey (ACS) to measure these topics. The computer use question asked if anyone in the household owned or used a computer and included four response categories for a desktop or laptop, a smartphone, a tablet or other portable wireless computer, and some other type of computer. Respondents selected a checkbox for “Yes” or “No” for each response category. Respondents could select all categories that applied. Question asked if any member of the household has access to the internet. “Access” refers to whether or not someone in the household uses or can connect to the internet, regardless of whether or not they pay for the service. If a respondent answers “Yes, by paying a cell phone company or Internet service provider”, they are asked to select the type of internet service.
