Getting Online in the Golden Years
According to a recent SeniorNet report, 46% of US seniors -- people age 50 and older -- have been using the internet for over five years. Another 41% say they have been using the net for between two and five years. SeniorNet surveyed 2,084 people in the US age 50 and older between September and November 2002 and determined that while most seniors (94%) use the net to communicate with friends and family, many go online for news (72%), health information (70%), product research (49%) and even to play games (35%).
