"Today's seniors are rewriting the digital playbook,"
"They're not just logging on, they're leaning in. From managing money and streaming content to navigating cybersecurity risks with growing confidence, this generation is proving that digital literacy has no age limit. Their cautious approach to emerging tech like AI shows they're not just connected, but they're critically engaged."
Nearly all surveyed seniors age 65 and older consider themselves somewhat to extremely digitally literate. Respondents use connected devices for online shopping, managing money, social media, streaming, and gaming. Sixty-two percent feel confident in identifying and avoiding scams and safety risks. Forty-one percent spend five or more hours online per day and 61% can minimize risk on their own. Security practices include 70% creating strong passwords, 63% installing security software, 60% using multi-factor authentication, and 51% removing unsafe apps or channels. Over half are open to online safety workshops. Concerns about generative AI include safety (42%) and lack of transparency (21%), and 49% say they don't know how to use generative AI and don't care to learn.
