Nevada County Broadband Issues Affordability & Adoption

PEW Research In a recent survey we found that 14% of American adults do not use the internet. Those least likely to use the internet: • Senior citizens • Adults with less than a high school education • Those living in households earning less than $30,000 per year Among adults who do not use the internet, almost half have told us that the main reason they don’t go online is because they don’t think the internet is relevant to them.

Digital Literacy Affordability – Adoption
