THE UCLA INTERNET REPORT: Surveying the Digital Future 37 CONSUMER BEHAVIOR Who is purchasing online, and why? Will dot-com failures and sluggish markets create significant change in consumer behavior online? Do Internet users continue to find differences between buying online and shopping at traditional “brick-and-mortar” retail stores? While attitudes may be changing, one point found in the 2001 survey remains paramount: almost half of Internet users purchased online in 2001. In spite of a declining economy, uncertainty in online retailing, and continuing concerns about online privacy, 48.9 percent of Internet users made at least one online purchase in 2001, down from 50.7 percent in 2000.
