There's also the thing of a good percentage of our population think they don't need the internet, especially the older generation. They phone the friends they're not around all the time, and see their other friends on a regular enough basis that other connections aren't required. They get all their forms and paperwork on paper, and use snail mail or couriers for sending it. They watch television, and buy dvds from shops that exist on the street. If you never had it in the first place, why would you miss it?
