Very biased premise.

The very title [1 in 5 Americans Refuse to Go Online] is biased.

"Refuse" implies failing to meet some sort of obligation---

Such as refusing to pay taxes, or refusing jury duty, or refusing to obey the traffic laws.

There is NO obligation to go online.

It would have been less judgemental to say [1 in 5 Americans Choose Not To Go Online].

------------------------------------

The same applies to smartphones. There is no obligation to use or have one.

Now, I spend several hours a day online, and I am also a very big user of VoIP. I embrace the technology with enthusiasm.

But I don't have a smartphone, nor do I need one. That doesn't make me a Luddite or antisocial.

In fact, my simple cell phone was purchased for about $ 40, and my cellphone service runs only about $ 7 a month.

So while I may not spend lots of money on a "smartphone", I feel that I am a "smarter phone user".

The parliament in the European Union state of Denmark has just passed a law making it mandatory for everyone in the state to be online.

From 2014 it is illegal not being online.

However, if a person moves from Denmark s/he may apply for being exempted from the law.
