My conversations with Americans were on reddit exclusively, so those statistics are very surprising.

Visiting my wife’s extended family is quite difficult for me because out of the dozens of them, not one of them has high speed internet. The internet is just emails to them. All of them are very active in their communities.

The internet, and Reddit especially, are a self selected group that don’t represent the majority of the 330M people living here at all.

Good to remember that Reddit is not reality. Twitter is not reality. HN most certainly is not reality.

I've found HN to be the closest to reality of the three you cited.

It depends on the dimension you’re interested in. If you extrapolate population tech-literacy from here, you’re in for a world of disappointment.

>It depends on the dimension you’re interested in.

Distance between what's written in the comments and the reality I personally observe, is the dimension I was thinking of.
