Millions in UK 'lack basic online skills' - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-20236708 - 8 November 2012 -
"Some 16 million people in the UK lack basic online skills, a survey suggests.
The report, conducted by consultancy firm Booz & Company, defines basic skills as using a search engine, sending and receiving emails, completing online applications and accessing information online.
Go ON UK, a charity chaired by the UK digital champion Martha Lane Fox, commissioned the report.
The organisation aims to do more to improve digital literacy in the UK."
