Almost one in three Americans don't use the Internet at work or home.New census bureau data, collected from 54,000 households, finds that seniors, the poor, underrepresented minorities and folks who live in rural areas lag behind the rest of the country, technologically speaking.
While a good chunk of the nation remains offline, high-speed broadband has made significant inroads with those who are surfing the Web. By late 2009, 63 percent of overall households had opted for the faster service, which is up from 40 percent in early 2007.
Still, we can't help but be baffled, and slightly insulted, by those who continue to shun the information superhighway, which we call home.

" seniors, the poor, underrepresented minorities and folks who live in rural areas" everything here except the rural area part is the majority representation of the democratic party. (Not all, but as I said-majority). Perhpas this is why Obama is pushing to get high speed broadband to everyone? I imagine if that were to come to fruition, the government would have some agenda as to what these people see on their no-cost of low-cost internet service by way of left wing advertisements.
