    There are a good few older people using the internet. Some are fairly clued in. Depends on your interest in life and whether you will keep up to date with what's happening.

    I can't imagine myslf as being a grandparent frankly. And a grandparent who will be up to date with technology? It's enough for me to be online right now, never mind to be upto date with whatever medium will have superceded the internet.
