If new technology intimidates you, you’re not alone! But seniors have proven time and time again that they can adjust to the ever-evolving tech landscape as well as any other age group.

In 2019, more than half of older adults bought a new tech product, whether it be a smartphone, laptop, or smart home device (AARP, 2020). Once seniors are connected to the internet, getting online becomes part of their daily routine. In fact, roughly 75 percent of older adults with an internet connection report that they use it daily (PEW Research, 2017).


Internet

Several factors go into choosing an internet provider and plan. What companies are in the area? How much do they charge? What's your budget? Typically, the monthly service fee for internet is $60 to $100 per month. 

Seniors with a low or fixed income may qualify for a discounted rate. 

If you’re looking for a great deal and decent speed, AT&T may be a good option; some plans start as low as $5/mo. But they don’t service every area, so make sure you’re eligible for service.
