| Interesting that there's so few teenagers. This used to be the main geek period - now they're spoonfed with Windows and don't want anything more intellectually demanding.

| i don't even think it needs to be split in the 20's, i think it should just be under 20, 20's, 30's, 40's, 50+ | |

It shows a definite trend. Two years ago there were significantly more under 20s, last year was more mid-twenties and this year that number is getting older. Perhaps we're just not attracting as many younger folks and the ones that are already here are just moving up the voting rungs.
Of course, this being only the 4th of January it's still too early to tell what this year's demographics will show. | |

I guess that would be a key factor in usage. | |

I guess that would be a key factor in usage. | yeah i suppose thats probably typical but i couldn't imagine i'm the only person that falls into the 20-25 and professional/working category, i just thought this poll was for age, not trying to get another demographic out of it too like in school/not in school because you can't just assume that a person in a certain age group is in school in my opinion | |

| Not at all, it's not really the science behind it I'm sure. I was just throwing out ideas, life stages more than specifically studying/working/whatever. | |
