Four in ten seniors go online , PEW Internet (Jan 13)
Seniors over 65 are less likely to go online and when they do it is for the basics of email and web search.
" As of December 2009, 38% of U.S. adults age 65 and older go online, a significantly lower rate of internet adoption than the general population (74%) and even the next-oldest group (70% of adults age 50-64 years old go online).
In addition, just 26% of U.S. adults age 65 and older have home broadband access, compared with 56% of adults age 50-64 years old (and 60% of all adults)."
