How many people don't have a computer?
« on: December 09, 2008, 08:30:46 PM »
I guess this is kind of random, but how many people do you think in the US still don't have a computer as of 2008? like 1%? 10%? Just wondering what you think. :)

I'm going to say 10%. A good portion of our population is elderly (and that portion only keeps getting bigger), and most of those elderly people do not have computers.

Funny you should mention elderlies and the computer.  On the morning radio show I listen to everday on my way to school, they were talking about old people and the radio.

Anyways, I would say ~ 10% also.
