How much of that 37% is young children? Toddlers or infants?

How much of that population is seniors who’ve decided they don’t get it or don’t know about it? Heck, how much if this population is imprisoned or incapacitated?

  The global imprisoned population is less than 10Million, or a rounding error when discussing the global population. Seniors? Well that’s a large portion of the population, but they are more concentrated in developed nations that have had the internet longer.

  The article only gives a number for twentysomethings versus everyone else, 57%/71%.

Around 20% judging by this data: https://www.childstats.gov/americaschildren/tables/pop1.asp https://www.childstats.gov/americaschildren/tables/pop1.asp

  Consistent with this line from the article: > On average, 71 per cent of the world’s population aged 15-24 is using the Internet, compared with 57 per cent of all other age groups. This generational gap is reflected across all regions. It is most pronounced in the LDCs, where 34 per cent of young people are connected, compared with only 22 per cent of the rest of the population. LDCs : Least Developed Countries

Under 5 years old they should be about 8.5% (678 million): https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/under-5-population?country=~OWID_WRL https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/under-5-population?countr...

I assumed kids started using internet at 2 these days, based on my anecdotal data, and assuming apps like Khan Academy Kids and PBS Kids count. Or, unfortunately, YouTube.

Exactly. I am pissed this 37% of the world still not online is now entering mainstream headline ( after being circulated on twitter and other social media for a while ). There are roughly 670 million under age of 5, 1.3 billion in age of 5 - 14.

they should also define what they mean by "using the internet", 50% of my household doesn't use internet, both kids under 6 unless you mean they click button on remote to launch Youtube where I play them something
