Peer training can help older people get online
Older people are missing out on critical services because they do not use the internet, a report says.
Just 28% of people over the age of 65 have home internet access, compared to a UK average of 57% of households.

As a result, pensioners cannot access government services as well as the most competitive deals on commercial goods.

The findings are part of a wider survey by a consumer panel at telecoms regulator Ofcom looking at the online access of marginalised groups.

I agree with you, older people over 45, I think over 45 is even too old, I should say over 25 should be marched to the gas chamber and be wiped off the face of the earth, they are a complete waste of space are they not? Let me know if you prefer to reduce the age further to lets say 16 years of age?
I think you statement is a complete nonsense, if you are 120 year old and you want to use the internet, why the hell should you not use it, what has age got to do with it?
