Most elderly ‘never use internet’
Most older people in the UK and many of those who are disabled have never used the internet, a study has shown.
Only 30% of adults aged 75 years and over had ever used the internet, the latest quarterly release about internet use by adults found.
There were 3.24 million non-users aged 75 years and over, said the Office for National Statistics.
The elderly non-users also made up 43% of the 7.63 million people who had never used the internet. Within the demographic, elderly women were also much less likely to go online than their male counterparts.
