I’m not doubting you, but how is that even possible? How do these people visit any other website? I don’t think much works in IE8 nowadays.

Are number of these same parents complained rather loudly when programming was added to the curriculum, because if they didn't understand "the technology", they didn't want it in their home.

Think... The sort of people who print and mail pictures someone found on the internet, because they never touch email.

They don't actually want to visit any website.

The only way I think this could happen is if everyone is still on Windows XP. Probably because pirated winxp was still being circulated when the parents installed.

Still hard for me to believe the figures though. 78%??? Wonder which country they live in.

I've seen things like that here in Mexico but not winxp, and not in 2020. And not to younger parents with kids who can use computers. Maybe they're in China or something where pirated winxp still apparently flourishes.

No, Australia. Just a farming community where you can't guarantee every household even has a computer (hence school-provided for students).

Most of the parents I dealt with treated technology like it might be infectious, and they didn't want to get sick. Most didn't even have email.
