Popis:	People ages 65+ are least likely to use the Internet (59%) versus all adults age 18+ (87%). National surveys show that low-income/less educated seniors are much less likely to be online than more advantaged seniors. Only 19% of seniors without a HS diploma are Internet users, compared to 87% with a college degree. Reaching out to offline elders is especially challenging because of their high computer anxiety level and belief that the Internet is irrelevant.
