When I want to be on a computer or the internet, then I use my home/work desktop.

I'm in that 5% too. Facebook, twitter, etc. just has no appeal to me. I do have a smartphone but that's only because my 10 year old flip phone finally bit the dust last year.

Add one Canadian to this population. Had to graduate to a smartphone simply because I could not keep up texting with my daughter with the old flip phone numeric key pad. At least now I can enjoy the forum via tapatalk when on-the-go.

My 16 year old has bailed on facebook. Finds twitter too 'noisy'. Instagram she likes and relies on it for her social media needs.

I would imagine that 5% figure is wrong. I have friend who is the CEO of an insurance company and he doesnt even have email!
