My Guardian piece about older people and the net

I'll come clean. Three and a half years ago, I had to do something close to the task I just set you. I was asked by The Guardian's technology supplement to write a piece about older people and the net. They wanted to know if more people were getting online and what they were doing. The brief was to a general look at this area...

I didn't have much time so I did all the research online. The piece I ended up writing was a bit rushed but I was able to find everything I needed online (though I did benefit from some of the contacts I'd developed before).

I'm writing this before you've done the exercise, but I'm hoping that you will have been able to find more info and more interesting sources than I did. If you look at the piece, you can see that some of the links I found are now dead - the domains have been bought up by ad companies or are being used by different organisations.
