It's all relative

Technology Use in America

The link is to research pointing out that about 1/5 of Americans have not used the Internet or rarely do so, nor do many use computers much at all. It's always good to gain perspective. Because though the Internet feels ubiquitous, that's not the case for part of America.

Granted half of those were people over 65, like my grandma, who have no real need for computers and the Internet overall. She doesn't really use the email set up for her, and she prefers calling people and writing notes. Who's grandma doesn't still take the time to send cards out to people for events/birthdays probably 2/3rds of the year. Not that she won't embrace parts of it, we helped her buy a treadmill online. She just never will have computers and the Internet be such a dominating influence as they are for the majority of younger people.
