Older people seem to use the Internet is same amounts (of time) as youngsters do. This can be concluded from a study by the Dutch SCP (Sociaal Centraal Planbureau). In fact, the elderly are among the fastest growing online users: last year their time online rose from 2,1 hours a week to 3,1 hours a week. While there is not a big difference in their time online, there are differences in the way they use the Internet. Youngsters tend to chat (MSN) more and download music. The elderly use email a lot more. This study was done with the cooperation of two big organisations that focus on elder people: Seniorweb.nl and Vijftigplusser.nl The results of the study will be published coming september 2007 as a whole.
