Recent weeks have seen a series of reports about growth in Internet penetration, in Canada and across the United States.
The latest release from the Pew Internet & American Life project focuses on senior citizens and identifies a 47 percent increase in Internet access in that age group from 2000 to 2004. According to Pew, 22 percent of seniors age 65 or older reported having access to the Internet. By comparison, other age groups include 58 percent of age 50-64, 75 percent of age 30-49, and 77 percent of age 18-29. Internet use only continues to grow.
