A new study indicates that internet use enhances life satisfaction and reduces depressive symptoms among individuals aged 50 and over, promoting social interactions and access to services.
Research from the University of Hong Kong shows that 'silver surfers' show improved wellbeing compared to non-users, but warns of potential negative impacts from excessive internet activity.
The findings suggest that daily internet use correlates with better health outcomes for those aged 65+, offering opportunities for emotional and medical support beyond just social contact.
Interestingly, while internet use is beneficial for older adults, young people's online activities are linked to anxiety and other issues, highlighting a generational divide in internet impact.
