Do you know anyone who doesn't have internet access or a pc?

Yes. My friend who is 29 doesn't have internet. only just got a laptop a month or so ago. I have a lot of friends in their 30's who don't have the internet or a computer. Most people have them/use them at work, they don't need them at home.

My parents just moved and right now they don't have internet access because they can't afford it - right now. Mom wants it but like I said, can't afford it yet. My dad doesn't know a thing about the computer and won't go near it - just like your mom. lol They do have cell phones and know how to work the microwave, in fact, mom knows more about how to cook with a microwave than I do, all I know how to do is thaw things and heat things up but to cook? HA! It would come out tasting rubbery. But not my moms. She taught herself with a microwave cookbook.

Hello, most of my family and friends have it!But someone just use PC at work!!My grandma is 94 and she use her PC for chat with her daughter in New Zealand!!But my grandma is unique and she was a university professor of math for long time!!She is still active!!Can you imagine life without PC? Warm Regards Silvana

Yes, almost everyone. Of all my friends, it's like 30% of us have computers at home, and like half of that 30% have internet access. That's really how it is here. Not that we don't know anything about technology, because everyone has a cellphone, even adolescents have them, even the poor, but not eveyone can afford a computer set, what more have it internet connected.

I actually know a few people that don't have computers and some that have computers but no internet access. I think it's werid, especially in an age where most of the things we do are being done on the computer, like internet banking and communicating with people. Anyways, some of the people I know say they don't see the reason if they can go to the library once a week and use the computers there and some of the others just say they don't need it. I don't understand it myself, I love my computer, but I guess they don't miss what they've never had.

i have lots of friends that have a pc but dont have internet because their mothers tells them the internet is a bad influence to them! lol that sucks ...

I am from india and here the penetration of technology is still not that deep that one wont find a person without a pc here. A major portion of the population is still not having access to internet and computer. There is still a large chunk who are just struggling to make both ends meet. No education and no knowledge to keep with the times.

I know lots of people who don't have a pc and internet! Portugal is like a 3rd world country in Europe! There are lots of money circulating from hand to hand in Portugal but it's just a few group!

i know many people like that i am from India which being a developing country government is really working in this field but still then there are many people you meet in day to day life which don't have computer or don't have internet access to it. you may find people who don't even know to use a computer properly. i really want to do something for this and provide a helping hand in this developing race

Most of the people I work with do not have PCs or internet access. I think part of it is economics and the other part is they just are happy watching MTV. They are people who do not read the newspaper or books or anything.

my parents. they are in their early 70's and always are getting emails sent to me! i keep telling them that they need to have net access, but they seem to be stalling. i am not sure why??!! (they do already have a computer!!)

I do know quite a few people who have no internet access, ctry. Most of the reasons are because they think it is too daunting to learn how to use computers. My youngest daughter is a prime example. She tells me she would like to learn, but I don't know what the holdup is. She has a laptop but it needs to be updated. I am going to try and work with her on it to see if I can get her connected. My older sister keeps saying she is going to buy one, but she never does. She likes to play games like I do, and I told her she could really benefit from getting a computer.

Hello. Yes I knowe one its a frend of mine and he dont whant to hawe one and I think he is afraid to learn something new. He likes to hawe it as it hawe been it works for hes parents then it works fine for him to.

Hey there, my Nan doesn't have an internet connection. She has a PC but that is only because I bought it when I lived with her for a year and then I bought a laptop and I left the PC there when I moved out. She doesn't even know how to turn the computer on, let alone deal with internet access. She has enough trouble with her DVD player which we got her for christmas last year! She's still amazed by the fact that you can talk through a cordless telephone and everytime she even so much as looks at her mobile phone she gets confused! Bless her, she's only 64 too! God help the rest of us!

i was just at my brother and sister inlaws house recently and they just finally got a computer but its not hooked up as of yet,they have 3 lil ones and they both work. a lot of people say that they cant get by without a computer, but my brother not having one, shows me that you can live without one, and im sure they get alot more done around the house then i do because of not having a computer..lol.

No i don't know as such.

Yea I know a couple of ppl but not nearly as much as I use to know...In fact there was a time when I didnt have a pc or internet and there was a time when I had a pc but no internet...Reason? money, or rather lack of it LOL...Thats always seemed to be the main reason for the ppl I know but there have been a couple who just werent interested in being online etc...to each his own ya know...

My parents don't have either pc or internet access. My mom did take a beginners course on using a computer and so forth but has not used it since. I think she goes to the library to use their computer, but she has yet to know how to use email. They also don't have a landline and use a cellphone instead so thats the reason why they dont have internet access.

I know several people that don't have a pc or internet. Some because they can't afford it and others because they don't like to get on the internt.

Since you come from the United States, I have read that the PC penetration rate for the US is around 73%, which means that a quarter of all households do not own a PC, not to mention internet access. That's not bad by world standards. A major reason for this could be poverty. Lower income families with annual income less than $60K are 50% less like to own a computer compared to higher income families that have income above $60K. Families where there are children are also more likely to have PCs compared to those where there are only adults or older folks, because children are exposed to IT from young nowadays. The first PCs only came out into the market in the early 80's, and it was at least in the 90's and later before they became pervasive and invaded the homes on a mass scale. So folks who are in their 60's or older now would have little or no exposure to PC technology, and to be comfortable with using a PC. I wouldn't be surprised that those homes where there are only older folks (where the children had grown up and moved out on their own) would less likely have PCs or internet access, because they may not be comfortable operating such things in the home by themselves.
