By Kathryn Zickuhr 15% of American adults do not use the internet at all, and another 9% of adults use the internet but not at home. As of May 2013, 15% of American adults ages 18 and older do not use the internet or email. Asked why they do not use the internet: 34% of non-internet users think the internet is just not relevant to them, saying they are not interested, do not want to use it, or have no need for it. 32% of non-internet users cite reasons tied to their sense that the internet is not very easy to use.

These non-users say it is difficult or frustrating to go online, they are physically unable, or they are worried about other issues such as spam, spyware, and hackers. This figure is considerably higher than in earlier surveys. 19% of non-internet users cite the expense of owning a computer or paying for an internet connection. 7% of non-users cited a physical lack of availability or access to the internet.

How many people can actually use the global language? David Graddol estimated a total of 750 million L1 (first or native language) plus L2 (second or nth language) speakers of English in his Future of English Report (pdf document) for the British Council. One of our subscribers, Prof.

Martin Schell, has reviewed Prof. Braj Kachru's new book Asian Englishes which claims that India and China combined have over half a billion "users" of English. Indeed, many people are bilingual or multilingual, but here we assign only one language per person in order to have all the language totals add up to the total world population (zero-sum approach).
