Who are those people who are still using dial-up internet?

The United States is considered one of the most developed Internet countries in the world, but even in such a highly networked country, there are still a large number of people using the old dial-up method to access the Internet.

Data released by American Intel service provider America Online (AOL) in 2013 showed that 2.5 million people in the United States were using dial-up Internet access at the time. This number was reduced to 2.1 million in AOL's latest financial report, but it is still surprising.

So the question is, who is still using dial-up Internet access?

36Kr website shared a chart produced by foreign media today, which analyzed users who are still using dial-up Internet access:

- People who live in some dark countries.

- AOL Chairman Tim Armstrong registered this account many years ago in order to increase the company's value when it was sold to Verizon.

- People who died in the 1990s but never cancelled their credit cards.

- Those grandparents who died but did not report it, and hid their bodies in their refrigerators because they wanted to continue to claim pensions. Cancelling dial-up accounts is too noticeable.

- People who have a tendency to self-abuse want to find more effective ways to abuse themselves.

- The "Ten Torture Schemes" Museum.

- The "Outdated Technology" Museum. Used to show visitors how miserable people were in the past when it came to surfing the Internet.

- A nostalgic "sentimental dog".
