A Quarter of the EU Has Never Used the Web

Posted by samzenpus on from the what's-all-this-then? dept.

smitty777 writes "Reuters reports that a quarter of the EU has yet to use the internet. Further, half of those in some of the southern and western states do not even have internet access at home. From the article: 'As well as highlighting geographic disparities across one of the world's most-developed regions, the figures underline the lack of opportunity people in poorer communities have to take part in advances such as the Internet that have delivered lower cost goods and service to millions of people.' The full report created by Eurostat can be found here."

    Meanwhile, in the real world everybody else is enjoying themselves, free of nerd rage.

    I don't know, Scientologists aren't that much better.
