Almost 50% of Americans shun high tech

momonan:
On a very limited scale, I thought you all might be interested in this:  I am working to establish a Lifetime Learning Institute for persons aged 55 and older in my community.  Of the people who have expressed an interest so far, almost 79% stated a preference to receive all communications through email and to register through a website.  All committee and council correspondence is through email.  No email = no participation.

While I don't claim that this is representative, I mention it in furtherance of myth-busting.

Yeah, that's where I found a reference to the story.
The study is by Pew Research however.

If it was from a libtard news outlet they'd be telling people what to think.
Not what they do think.

Exactly.
I didn't post the article to expect anyone to accept it as a hard fact.
But I think it is indicative of how the web, and who's using it and for what, has changed in the last decade.
And maybe it'll make people rethink about how they are looking at it. Because not all people see connecting and using the web the same way.
It could be useful in determining how to reach out to those who aren't quite as invested as most are here.
