To online or not: In our company our boss made a presentation for all. Because the room was too small, his first audience were the factory workers, the second the administrative staff and management. In both cases he asked the staff whether they use the computer at home. Nearly everyone in the second audience uses a computer. In the "factory audience" only one raised his hand. Most of the factory workers are migrants, generation-wise the older from Greece or Italy, then Vietnamese, younger ones more varying, with the odd Irish or Englishman amongst them. Quite often they are using simple old-fashioned Nokia phones because smartphones are far too overwhelming. They wouldn't be reached by any online press. Regards Peter
