Recent official figures show that 37% of individuals over 65 are now online, a remarkable increase from just 9% in 2006. While many seniors actively engage with social networking and online transactions, the internet can still pose challenges in usability. Amazon, for instance, offers a user-friendly search bar and visually appealing product recommendations, yet it requires account creation and can feel cluttered to older users. Understanding these pros and cons can help improve the online experience for seniors, fostering greater independence and connection.
