30% Of Americans Aren't Online

[lxskllr]

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but that number seems high to me. I automatically assume everyone has internet, even if it's just 56k. It's getting to the point where it's an essential part of modern life.

Its fair to say some of the 30% quoted figure are blind due to blunt trauma to the face and wouldn't be able to read it anyways, which makes it less sad.

About 50% of people are below average intelligence, so only 30% not having internet is pretty good

Thank gawd!

Those would also be the same 30% I would shudder to accidentally see wacking off on chatroulette! D:
