( CNN ) -- Yes , they exist . And there might be more of them than you think . Fifteen percent of adults in the United States are not online , for reasons that range from lack of interest to fear of the unknown to not being able to afford a computer , says a new survey . And guess what ? Almost all of them are OK with it . According to the report from the Pew Internet & American Life Project , 92 % of respondents who said they are n't on the Internet also said they have no desire to be . The survey this spring used phone interviews with 2,252 adults who were 18 years old or older . It has a margin of error of 2.3 percentage points . As in earlier Pew studies , it appears that older Americans and those with less education are the least likely to be online . Web usage was also slightly lower among rural Americans and Hispanics . Forty-four percent of adults 65 or older said they do n't use the Internet . By comparison , only 2 % of those between 18-29 said the same . But education was almost as strong a factor as age in the results . A full 41 % of Americans who did n't get a high school diploma said they are n't on the Web , compared to just 4 % who said they have a college degree . By far , the most popular reason given was some version of `` I just do n't care about it . '' More than one-third said they are `` just not interested , '' `` do n't need it/do n't want it , '' or `` think it 's a waste of time . '' Less popular , but interesting , reasons included not having a computer ( 13 % ) , saying Web access is too expensive ( 6 % ) and being limited by poor eyesight or another physical disability ( 4 % ) . For all the talk recently about Web security , government snooping and the like , only 3 % of respondents said they do n't go online because of worries about things like privacy , viruses , spam and hackers . Even among the offline contingent , the Web 's broad reach was apparent . More than 4 out of 10 of nonconnected people said they 'd asked a friend or family member to look something up or complete a task online for them , and nearly a quarter say they live in a household where someone else uses the Web .
Survey : 15 % of U.S. adults say they are n't on the Web . Of those , 92 % say they do n't want to be . Age , education are best predictors of who 's not online .
