The data shows that people recognize the value of being connected regardless of age. The one determination of likelihood to connect seems to hinge, in some way, on the size of the screen that the user is viewing content on. As we age our eyes struggle to view smaller things. Older users still see the internet as something you access via desktop or laptop.
