A new Pew Internet report says that the % of online seniors grew by 47% in the last 4 years. Specifically:
- 22% of Americans 65+, and
- 58% of Americans 50-64 are now online.
As can be expected, seniors are heavy users of online health information. 66% of wired seniors had looked for health or medical information online at some point in their online life by the end of 2003.
