Silver surfers are the most rapidly growing group of net users in the UK.
The number of people aged 55 and over using the internet in the UK has grown by nearly 90% from last year, according to a survey from net measurement firm NetValue.
Two million older people are logging on to the net, accounting for 13% of the total UK online population.
The UK has one of the highest percentages of silver surfers in Europe. Only tech-savvy Sweden and Denmark have more with 17.4% and 16.3% respectively.
