One-Fifth of US Households Not on Net
[H]ardOCP:
Researchers discovered that 20 million US households lack internet access. Age and education are factors in this digital divide, according to the research. This shouldn’t be much of a surprise since the forums are full of support stories about people that shouldnt have a computer or internet access.
"Nearly one out of three household heads has never used a computer to create a document," said John Barrett, director of research at Parks Associates, in a statement. "These data underscore the significant digital divide between the connected majority and the homes in the unconnected minority that rarely, if ever, use a computer."
