Today we were asked to find sources and contacts for a hypothetical story on old people that use the internet. Here's what I found:http://www.businessstrata.com/Win/News-Archive/Marketing-News/?storyId=116 - talks about "formidable older people"
These articles talk about an opposite viewpoint, that older people don't use the net:http://news.bbc.c.ouk/1/hi/technology/5146222.stm and this recent article
Contacts?: UK Online Centres (provides courses on how to use the internet): http://www.ukonlinecentres.com/consumer/content/view/99/158/lang,en/
Help The Aged: http://www.helptheaged.org.uk/en-gb/WhatWeDo/AboutUs/ContactUs/. They also publish tips on how to use the internet at http://www.helptheaged.org.uk/en-gb/AdviceSupport/FrequentlyAskedQuestions/ComputersAndInternet/default.htm
