There are people, around the world, who do not have access to computers. I realize you probably don't know about them since you only deal with people who have computers, but I must assure you that they exist.

There are people around the world who do not have internet access. They may have computers. They do exist. And they have been spared your noting that they do not exist, which is probably a good thing.

There are people around the world who do not have broadband.

As of right now, the global internet penetration is at 16.7%. This means that 83.3% of the world could not read what you wrote in your blog.

BUT...

They exist. So there is a digital divide.

Thanks for letting me clear that up for you.
