Survey Says One-Fifth of Americans Have Never Used E-mail
According to the analyst firm, one-fifth of U.S. households have never used e-mail and 18 percent have no Internet access at all. That's 20 million households that are somehow able to get by without Internet access, a number that reveals a very real digital divide.
According to Parks' research director John Barrett, "Nearly one out of three household heads has never used a computer to create a document."
Does this surprise you?
Barrett points out that those who are not using computers or going online won't likely be doing either anytime soon. The survey found that only seven percent of the 20 million "unconnected" homes plan to subscribe to an Internet service within the next 12 months. Age and economic status do play a small role, but more important is the overall attitude of those who are not connected that these tools would offer no significant benefit to their lives on a daily basis.

This is surprising to me. I would like to know how much age has to do with the non-users. I have thought about getting away from the Internet and seeing what life would be like without feeling the need to migrate to the computer every morning and throughout the day. It is an extremely helpful tool while also being a trap of sorts but, I do believe that one is able to get information on the Internet that one would NEVER hear on the radio and certainly wouldn't see on the T.V. It's a double edged sword where the pros outweigh the cons in my opinion.
