Why nine million people aren’t online
The hope was these events could help people who have never, or rarely, usedthe internet catch up with the rest of us.
There are various valid reasons people don’t use the internet. Some peoplejust don’t feel the need, know about the benefits or are put off by scarestories.
Others simply cannot afford either a computer or a broadband service. Thelatest figures from theOffice for NationalStatistics show that one-third of those earning less than £10,399 a yearhave never used the internet compared to only two per cent of those earning morethan £41,000.
But the internet is not just about emails or downloading movies and music.There arebenefitsfor the elderly and disabled. it can help peoplesavemoney and make money as well as find work. also many jobs require IT skillsthese days, even if this is at the most basic level.
And as more people are forced to rethink their careers in the currenteconomic climate, having some knowledge of how to use the internet – andimportantly know how to use it safely – is vital.
This is because along with the good things about the net, there are genuinedangers. There are traps,scams,frauds,and many otherlessdesirable aspects that people need to be aware of. But none of these shouldput people off using the internet.
