The ranks of silver surfers are growing, but they aren’t mobilising
The research was carried out “to understand these older internet users: the devices they own, their use of the web, and their attitudes to computers and mobile phones” and it has some interesting details.
More than 50% spend two hours or more a day online; a quarter more than three hours. This isn’t casual browsing: 91% have bought goods online, 68% have booked travel and 60% have watched TV catch-up services. But it’s not just functional activities that are popular: 40% of this audience are regular Facebook users (45% for the 55-59 age group).
