I still believe internet access is a new heighth of luxury in our society, but more importantly, there's not too much on there that really separates the economic classes of people.
Yet.
Also, making it accessible through something for less-than-technically-inclined people, preferably with a nice remote-control, would make great strides into reducing that 42%.
But I really wonder if there's enough information, or proper organization that changes everyday behaviour.
As a product, the internet is barely more interesting than cable TV, has yet to prove to make some serious money for anyone, and requires some determined users to configure/maintain connections.
42% sounds right. A little more than half my friends really give a grape pit about PC's and such, unless it can make them money without too much time.
Or get more porn faster. Which isn't the greatest motivator to learn about webcaches and forum rules.......
