"OMG! You've never seen the Internet?"
How would you explain the Internet if you've never been online? Justine Sharrock of Buzzfeed asked a handful of inmates from California's San Quentin State Prison who began serving long sentences in prison without ever having been on the 'Net before. Here's what they said:
I have seen the advertisements of both the internet and the apps on the television, but I never paid close attention about their usage. I did not consider their significance.
I was completely in the blind about the purpose. I thought they were just sites for people to socialize and spend their idle time.

Actually, I have two MILs, and the one who is liable to see this is NOT the one I'm referring to.
