London, April 25 (ANI): Pensioners are apparently becoming increasingly internet savvy, with almost half using Facebook, a new study has revealed.
The study, conducted by Plusnet, has found that the social networking site is used by 41 per cent of those over 65, while 84 per cent of elderly people shop online, the Daily Express reported.
Three quarters said that they use the internet to keep them feeling young and mentally agile, while 65 per cent say they can't live without it.
Jamie Ford, CEO of the company, told the publication that it is really encouraging to see that so many over 65s getting online and making the most out of the internet.
Ford said that there is no reason for anyone to feel that their age means they can't get the best out of what technology has to offer. (ANI)
