Raya’s work experience
My first week here at the Village Web Company I wanted to find any data that would be useful to show and to represent the internet usage especially with elderly people. I have done research in the industry and would want to show this with using useful and simple infographics but also give a simple guidance for elderly people with using the Internet.
This should help with making sure that you are safe online but also making sure that you ask help if you don’t know how to do something but these the top 5 key things on how to keep safe online.
A large majority of 50-64 year olds (88%) and 65-74 year olds (75%) in England use the internet every day or almost every day, compared to under half (46%) of those aged 75+. Others use it less often, but among those aged 75+ more than two out of five (42%) do not use the internet.
A useful website that gives support for people who don’t know much on how to use the Internet would be using https://www.ageuk.org.uk/ as they give a lot of helpful and a lot of support to people with using the Internet and with other things.
This is a graph to represent the amount of people that have never used the Internet throughout the UK. The highest is Northern Ireland at 12.8%, Yorkshire/Humber at 10.2% and North East 10%. These are the top 3 areas where the popularity of people have never used the Internet.
I hope that what I have been discussing what useful and things to keep in mind.
