The internet plays such a huge role in our daily lives, and social media has become so ubiquitous, that it's hard to believe some people are still offline these days.

Using data from a 2021 survey by the Pew Research Center, Visual Capitalist visualized the number of US adults that are still yet to join us on the web.

Key Findings:

• Internet adoption across the country has grown rapidly over the last two decades, with the number of those who aren't online shrinking from 48 percent in 2000 to just seven percent in 2021.

• Age is a key factor. Around a quarter of survey respondents aged 65 or older said they didn't use the internet, while just four percent of those aged 50 to 64 reported the same.

• Income also plays a part in internet adoption. Of the survey respondents earning less than $30,000 a year, 14 percent were offline, compared to just one percent of those making $75,000 or more annually.
