One in five American adults will never get to read this story

Not surprisingly, their poll shows 88% have a cell phone, 57% have a tablet, 19% have a tablet computer and 19% have an e-book reader. 63% of these people go online.
There is no gap in races as African Americans and English-speaking Latinos are as likely as whites to own any sort of mobile phone, and are more likely to use their phones for a wider range of activities.
The most surprising one to me is that one in 5 people do not use the internet until you look at the numbers:
Senior citizens, those who prefer to take our interviews in Spanish rather than English, adults with less than a high school education, and those living in households earning less than $30,000 per year are the least likely adults to have internet access.
I guess that makes sense. Essentially lower income people who cant afford the internet and senior citizens who tend to be less tech savvy make up a larger number than I would have expected. Add in the 27% of adults living with disability in the U.S who go online at 54% versus 81% and thats a lot of people who can't use the internet for physical or financial reasons.
