Who the fuck are the 4%?
Probably people who don't realize some things are part of the internet

It's a bigger number than I'd have picked in a pub quiz, bet there are always people who have medical reasons not to be able to use the internet.
If you're in a coma or have a severe mental disability you probably won't be on Lemmy.

It's funny, I'm no longer a "younger person", but I was, just as the internet was really taking off in the public sphere in the mid 90s.
And I know for sure that we got on just fine without it - and yet, I now can't imagine how we possibly did. I use it every single day for so many things, work, news, leisure, communication, etc. I almost can't remember life without it.
Not saying that's a good or a bad thing, but it's weird to think about.
I mean, not UK, but I use it hourly, at least for the hours I'm awake.
