Pew Internet & American Life Project

A new report from Pew Internet & American Life Project has some disturbing statistics based on a survey of 4001 people on the state – or otherwise – of the connected union.Pew Internet & American Life Project has suggested in their report on 'Technology and Media Usage' that nearly half of US citizens have a “distant or non-existent relationship to modern information technology”, with 15% of Americans disconnected from cell phones or an Internet connection. The report says that this 15% is mainly ‘older adults’, some of whom do have digital cameras and computers (but evidently no Internet connection to go with it), despite the easy and generally affordable availability of a plethora of gadgets and increasingly inexpensive Internet accounts.
