Trends in Internet Use Among Older Adults in the United States, 2011–2016

Findings confirm the general knowledge that an increased number of the older U.S. population used the internet over the period of 2011–2016. Furthermore, closer inspection indicates that this upward trend does not apply to all, but specifically to those with advanced age, male gender, racial/ethnic minority background, and low educational attainment. Findings provide implications for identifying and prioritizing a target group for internet technology training.
