Over 50s are computer savvy and living online

The average Brit over the age of 50 is now 100 per cent computer savvy - and spends 26 hours a week online.

Emailing, internet banking and shopping means the over 50s spend around 1,369 hours - or 57 days - a year logged on to the worldwide web.
 
A recent study found more than half of silver surfers say the internet had made their lives easier with two thirds saying that doing daily chores online give them more time to relax.

Most also said the internet helped them stay in touch with children and grandchildren via emails, IM, social networks and Skype.
 
But how would you feel about letting your Grandmother friend you on Facebook?
