I know someone who not only has no email address, he doesn't have a
telephone either, whether land-line or cell phone. He is in his mid-
fifties, but has never had a job that paid much above minimum wage, so he
can't afford either one. He also has no medical or dental insurance, and
has lost most of his teeth by now as a result.
