Uncultured
There is no such thing as an uncultured person, there are merely differences in culture. Never has this been more true than in a globalised, networked world.

But is there such a thing as a wrong opinion ?
Onto your point, when everything is connected, doesn’t culture become a common denominator as it is accessible to everyone ?
As I have access to this globalized world that reaches from one point of the globe to any other, if I were to not use it, to not know even a little fraction of culture as an entity, wouldn’t I be less cultured ?
And therefore, if culture can be quantified, uncultured does exist does it not ?

We might just have a difference in terms. What you call uncultured, I call deacculturated. I think the words “cultured” and “uncultured” have too much baggage to be useful, since they tend to imply value judgments.
