14% of adults permanently offline, despite online benefits

According to a new report by Ofcom, 14% of adults surveyed don’t use the internet at all, despite the benefits that being online can bring.


Despite having never been online, this lack of use isn’t purely born from a lack of interest – in fact 34% of non-users say they see at least one benefit of being online.

I thought it might be slightly higher than that, there are still many scared of the internet, particularly the elderly
