The greying of the internet

[Cowperson]

The Internet, which was once limited to colleges and was largely the preserve of young people, is now attracting greyer users, a new survey says.

And not only are older Canadians going on-line, they are going on-line with better technology and spending more time in cyberspace.

The report, called Canadian Interactive Reid Report and released Monday by Ipsos-Reid, says that currently 60 per cent of people 55 years of ago and older have Internet access. Last year, only 48 per cent of that age group used the Internet.

I think its a long term average of about 16 posts a day, of which about half would be stories for the board to scrutinize, keeping Calgarypuck up and arguing.

Yes, I am gainfully employed!! How do you think I can afford all this internet time!!??
