This statistic displays the findings of a survey on the breadth of internet usage in the United Kingdom (UK) in 2018, by age group. In 2018, 54 percent of internet users over the age of 75 fell within the narrow internet usage category.
When using any of the devices you use to go online at home or elsewhere, how often, if at all, do you do any of the following?*
* The source indicates: "This division into narrow, medium and broad users is achieved by dividing equally the frequency counts for the 17 categories of use into the three ‘breadth of use’ groups. Narrow users were defined as those ever carrying out 1-6 of the 17 types of online use, medium users ever carry out 7-10 types, and broad users ever carrying out 11-17 types."
