Winona Ryder: 'I Don't Use The Internet'

Winona Ryder isn't likely to be reading this.

"I don't use the Internet," the star told Elle (which noted she "sound[ed] genuinely bewildered"), "but apparently you can find out everything on it."

According to Winona's interview with Elle, she has an iPad--a gift from actor/director/producer Ron Howard--but has yet to put it to use. Her gadget of choice is a BlackBerry.

"I have my e-mail on my BlackBerry, and that's about it. I've never read a blog, ever," she explained to Elle. "I feel like it's taking away that great anticipation of seeing a movie. It used to be you'd hear, like, Al Pacino was making a movie, and you wouldn't know anything about it. And nowadays, you know it all, like how much [the actors] are being paid. I would hate to see a picture of me and the caption reads, 'Is she worth it?' "

Fellow celebrity Prince is, like Winona, less than enamored with the Web.

"The Internet's completely over," he told the Mirror earlier this year.

"I don't use the Internet" = "I am willfully retarding my intellectual development."

Probably a good thing considering that silly "deer in the headlights" picture.
I still think you're hot and as do-able as you were 2 decades ago. :-9~

Wino doesn't use the Internet is likened to her stating that she was training for a movie when she got busted for stealing!
Looks like shes a rocket ready to take off! Watch that straw action there Wino! Hollywood has changed since you were last perceived as a star. Dont let em eat you alive! Again.

Once again for people who don't quite understand how the internet works.

SMTP, POP or IMAP are 'Internet protocols' used to send and receive email. The author and Ms. Ryder states, "I have my e-mail on my BlackBerry... ", so she uses a blackberry to email; therefore her and the author's claim is patently false.

Now, she may have never visited a website, she may object to "blogs" on the internet, she may even perceive social media outside of her purview,; but the "internet" is more than blogs, websites, dump trucks, or a "series of tubes".

The expression on her face looks just like the one you get when the police approach you and say, "Miss Ryder, may we take a look into your purse?"

I guess she just hasn"t figured out how to shoplift on the net.

She strikes me as someone who wouldnt use the internet. She looks like she would do just fine back in the 1700's..until she was burned for being a witch.

let's save insensitive "Crazy Eyes" comments for Sharon Angle, Sarah Palin, Jan Brewer, Glenn Beck, etc. ..... basically older, white, googly eyed conservatives

It is possible for stupid people who do not realize its worth.

Maybe they actually do not believe there is a universe that exists beyond the entertainment industry.
Imagine that!

Her statement equates to: " I like to wallow in ignorance. Why learn new things?"

Oh, Prince. It's not the internet that's over. It's your career.

Sadly, I only visit 4 websites; my university's library database for research, Huffington post, Yahoo answers, and facebook. And sometimes for "funny fall videos" i go to youtube.

Any interesting websites out there?

Scary. She sounds like an 80 year old.

No. You're wrong. What you might actually mean is: She sounds like an 80 year-old who DOESN'T use the internet.
A lot of 80-year-olds actually use it.
