Despite ongoing government and social service programs to encourage internet adoption in underserved areas, according to the Pew Research Center seniors are much more likely than younger adults to not go online. Among individuals ages 65 and older, 27% still do not use the Internet, compared with fewer than 10% of adults under the age of 65. Non-adoption also is linked to other demographic variables, such as educational attainment, household income, and community type.
