| Annotation | In this issue of Working with Older People, Claudine McCreadie and Rachel Stuchbury have already highlighted low income as a barrier to computer ownership that potentially prevents the digital inclusion of many older people. This article uses results from the Welsh Consumer Council's Welsh Omnibus Surveys for 2004-2006, which indicates that while those aged 65+ are least likely to have access to the internet (fewer than 20%), online shopping is a growing activity (more than 50%). The article considers older people's attitudes towards the internet, examines the element of cost, and raises other questions for computer manufacturers. (RH). |
