Reasons for not using the Internet: The columns for Spain and Germany cannot
be compared directly - the Spanish values add up to 100%, wheras in Germany
multiple answers were possible, so the sum is higher than 100%. It is somewhat
peculiar that a high number of German offliners are anxious to have less social
contacts by PC use. To our opinion just the contrary is true, especially for seniors.
If the movability is restricted in higher age, it is possible to maintain contacts
by emails and the Internet.
Conclusions
- The order of Internet use in our countries seems to be: U.K.-Germany-Italy-Spain-
Chech Republic-Slovakia
- Senior Internet access in Western Europe is on a broader basis, whereas in Czech
Republic and Slovakia we have a small number of very competent users.
- Use of the Internet is developing rapidly, especially in the Eastern countries,
but much has to be done still, chiefly for the seniors

But I hope I did not falsify too much.
