30 Percent of Americans Don’t Use the Internet, Says Report

A new survey conducted by the Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration reveals that a large segment of the American population still doesn’t have access to broadband at home or simply doesn’t use the Internet at all. While most Americans can’t imagine life without a fast broadband connection, over a third of the population rely on narrowband Internet devices, with another third claiming to be unable to afford neither type of connection. Although there is nothing wrong with people not using the Internet, we have to take in consideration that we live in a high-paced, modern society that places a strong emphasis on aspects like information and communication.
