Do Italians prefer fishing over surfing the Net?

Some rather alarming stats yesterday from “Eurostat”, an EU statistical institute on Italians and the use of PCs. It appears that in the year 2006 A.D., not exactly the Dark Ages, many Italians prefer using the Net for fishing purposes rather than the one used normally with computers. Here are some startling figures on the “Old Europe” and computer use :
-Only 59% of Italians know how to click on a mouse (not the one with four legs but the plastic object which is usually connected directly to a PC);
-87% of Italians over the age of 55 don’t know how to use a PC;
-Only 28% of youths between the ages of 16 and 24 know how to use a PC (Greece is worse with 65% that don’t know how to use one);
-62% of Italians who are unemployed and who perhaps need to know inside-out a PC for eventually finding a job don’t know how to use one (on an average basis the figure drops to 39% in the EU);
-64% of Italian women don’t know how to use a computer compared to 54% of Italian men;
-Last (but never least), 62% of Italians have never hooked up to the Net, expect perhaps the one used for going fishing.

Pretty scary stats, indeed.
