15 percent of Americans find the Internet irrelevant and hard to use2013-09-26 09:28 by DanielaTags: Internet
According to a new study from the Pew Research Center, fifteen percent of U.S. adults still don't use the Internet, primarily because it's not relevant to them or it's too difficult to use. Fear of spam, spyware and hackers also kept people from logging on, according to the report. Seven percent of those people said there is a physical lack of availability or access to the Internet while another 19 percent of non-internet users said the Internet was too expensive. Overall, the percentage of people who do use the Internet has remained relatively steady over the past several years. The 85 percent of U.S. adults who use the Internet is up only moderately from 75 percent in 2008, Pew said. Ten years ago, just over 60 percent of adults were online, according to Pew. The findings in Pew's report are based on data from telephone interviews conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International from April 17 to May 19, 2013, among a sample of 2,252 adults ages 18 and older.
