New Analysis From Pew Research: “15% of Americans Don’t Use the Internet. Who are They?”

From Pew Research:

For many Americans, going online is an important way to connect with friends and family, shop, get news and search for information. Yet today, 15% of U.S. adults do not use the internet, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of survey data.
