Over nine
million Britons have never used internet

London:
More than nine million adults in Britain have never used the
internet, says a survey.
The elderly, widowed and people in lower economic strata were less
likely to be net savvy, says the the survey by the Office of
National Statistics (ONS).
A ‘digital divide’ in the country is being feared if millions more
are not enticed into going online, reports the Daily Mail.
The new ONS report claims a generation gap in technology still
exists with only one percent of 16 to 24-year-olds having never used
the net, compared to 60 percent of those over 65.
Today more than 38 million adults in Britain are online - with 30
million accessing the net daily.
Mark Williams from the ONS said: "Since 2006 we have seen a
significant increase in the number of people using the internet,
with the number of adults accessing the internet ever day almost
doubling to just over 30 million, though the UK is some way off from
being completely online."
Michelle Mitchell, the charity director at Age UK, added: "While
many older people are embracing the benefits of getting online such
as keeping up with friends and family more easily and making savings
online, many people in later life are still missing out."
