Older Wiser Wired
"More than 40 million U.S. adults over 50 are online. They bank, they buy,
they search, they read, they contribute. But how hard is it for them to
find what they need? AARP's Older, Wiser, Wired initiative is meant to
encourage better understanding and awareness of the needs of older adults
online."

The 'grey digital divide': Perception, exclusion and barriers of access to
the Internet for older people
7/15/2003
By Peter Millward for First Monday
<http://www.firstmonday.dk/issues/issue8_7/millward/index.html>
"The "grey digital divide": Perception, exclusion and barriers of access
to the Internet for older people by Peter Millward
Focussing upon the elderly, this article utilises data discovered as
researcher for Age Concern in Wigan (U.K.) and examines the feelings of
older people toward the Internet. It explores the reasons why some
clients and volunteers choose to use the Internet, whilst others do not,
relating these perspectives to the organisations, alongside broader
national (U.K.) and EU, commitments to reduce the digital divide. The
article argues that for the elderly Internet usability is based upon more
than availability of technology. Instead a lack of Web skills among the
elderly leads to an opinion that information and communication
technologies are for the young, leading to a long-term damage lack of
interest in using the Internet."
