Silver surfers, unite!

No, I’m not commenting about that awful Fantastic Four film from a couple of years back. Instead, a couple of stories have caught my attention today, and they both seem to point to a greater usage of the internet by older folks.
Specifically, much older folks.
First, from the BBC, is a story about a group of Cistercian Monks who have had broadband installed on their remote island. They live on an island three miles off the coast of Tenby, Pembrokeshire, and their reliance on dial-up internet was hampering the Monk’s work: selling home-made perfume and sweets over the internet.
