Abstract
Research on the digital divide has moved beyond connectivity to skills and usage disparities. Yet for many older people lack of connectivity remains a challenge, and for those who do have access, skills and usage remain an issue.
We report findings of an in-depth qualitative study of older people's perceptions of online communications and also their actual experiences.
Findings indicate that older people who are already socially well connected benefit from online communication more than those who are not.
