Why "older people"?

may Many...

None of the older people at the Day Centre I visit to help with knitting have ever used a computer of any kind so, as others have said, referring to the fact that some, possibly many depending on age, older people do not have access to the internet is not unreasonable at all. Age does have something to do with using the internet because older older people have often never been shown and never felt the need to use it.

May of us in here are younger older people as opposed to older older people and the older older ones who do use the internet at home may well have had jobs where it was in use or just be interested and have felt the need. I don't think the people at the day centre I visit ever felt the need. Why would they?

My paternal gran never really learned how to use a telephone. She was born in 1892 and died in 1980.

Well it would affect anyone without Internet access not just older people wouldn't it?

Older people are the least likely to have internet access so I don't see what's wrong with highlighting that they are the most likely people to bear such charges.

£9???

DH has just had one of my 'warnings.'

Well, because statistically older people are more likely to use directory enquiries or not be au fait with the internet. It's a fact. Not all older people certainly but far more.
