This seems to beg the question: How do you define "modern

Facebook, Gmail, Twitter, smartphone user.
Those are a 95%+ solution for kids and young adults, if not 99%, and
are easy enough for older adults (my parents, etc) to the point that
they're arguably better than an 80% solution for the US population.
If we were that good, we'd be golden.
