Older people more active online

A new report finds that older people are actively using the net to ‘make their voice heard’.

Short quote from netimperative:

The survey of 1,000 Web users aged between 50 and 65, commissioned by digital communications connsultancy Panlogic, found that the older generation are driving the Internet’s ‘digital conscience’.

More than a third (35%) of respondents stated that they have signed a petition online, while 28% have made charitable donations online.
