Overall, 44 million older people (36%) have access to a computer at home and 33 million (26%) are regular computer users. However, computer involvement decreases with age: In the age range between 50 to 59 years 57% have home accesses to a computer, and 46% are regular users. At the same time, only 19% of those who are 80 years and older have home access to a PC and 6% are regular users. This is most likely due to cohort effects. The older age cohorts may have had considerably less opportunities to get in touch with this technology in an occupational or educational context compared with younger age cohorts.
