How Web Savvy Are Online Seniors?

This is of interest to Small Business Boomers for their main market, depending on products and services, might be seniors and boomers.  Generally we’ve thought that young people, in their teens, 20s and 30s, are the online target consumers.  However, these statistics seem to prove otherwise.

So…don’t disregard these older age groups when you’re deciding what to sell in your online shop, or your shop that also has an online presence.
