Old People Say ‘No’ To Downloading
The phone survey results showed that nearly half of respondents aged
55-64 years old will not be downloading content of any kind, which contrasts
with just 14 per cent of people aged 18-24.
In addition, less that 50 per cent have any intentions of opting for
digital TV, compared with three quarters of 25-34 olds.
Unsurprisingly, none of the 55-64 a
ge group have carried out any
downloading of content to mobile devices. Just 16 per cent showed any interest
in downloading tunes to an MP3 player.
I think the media has made too much out of the growing tech-savvy older
generation. A sobering survey like shows that while the older generation might
be getting left behind in the new technology/gadget-led society, there’s a lot
of them that couldn’t care less.
And where’s the surprise in that?
