40%? SAD!!!
40% of the people don't care.........that is HUGE.
Consider the population.....of the planet ...6billion, 1billion on the internet. That is only 17%. So....8.5% of the world does not care about the net? Hmm....that IS sad. Sure....the 1Billion that IS on the Internet are people like me...a US Citizen [yeah] and few other countries...China, Japan, UK, some Africa. People who think the Internet is porn/email/spam? Yeah...it sucks. But for computer people, who can get help on any topic, read about product reviews, movie reviews & times, software [and warez :( ] and games.
