Sure. But you need to clearly define this. Is looking at Facebook really that different from a EC payment? Both are just instructing some electronic device to send packets over the internet. Having a call via VoIP can be abstracted to the same thing.

I agree that the sledgehammer approach of saying 'everyone does' is not helpful, but neither is an unclear and inconsistent definition of use.

An actual solution might be to ask who directly pays for internet access or who knowingly uses it; the latter of which is probably what the study found.

The methodology linked from the article[0] defines it as people who answered "yes" to either of these questions:

> (1) Do you use the internet or email, at least occasionally?

> (2) Do you access the internet on a cell phone, tablet or other mobile handheld device, at least occasionally?

Before mid-2013, the survey used different questions.

“Internet adoption” is the phrase that recurs in the linked article.
