[NYP] Internet explorers they are not.A new study has found that 7 percent of American adults do not go online at all — for a variety of reasons including old age, remote living, and poverty.
The Pew Research Center finding is down from 15 percent in 2015 and 48 percent in 2000.
However, that number remains stubbornly high among people age 65 and older, 25 percent of whom say they don’t log on. By comparison, just 4 percent of Americans between the ages of 50 and 64 say they don’t use the internet, down from 12 percent in 2019.
The difference in internet use is similarly stark when graded by educational attainment.
