This of interest to me from a number of angles. Its updated monthly:

for this and a bit more go to page 27 if interested.

Internet use among older age groups has increased substantially over the last five years, but many
are still non-users.
4.2 million people aged 65+ have never used the internet.
Around a quarter (26%) of people aged 65 to 74 and around three-fifths (61%) of people aged 75+
do not regularly use the internet.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) publishes information each year setting out the numbers
and proportions of people who use the internet.

In 2016, in the UK, 5.3 million adults have never used the internet while a further 0.9 million
have used it, but not in
the last 3 months.

Among people aged 65+, 4.2 million have never used the internet and a further 0.51 million
who have used it, but not in the last 3 months.

Most of these non-users are aged 75+. There are 2.8 million people aged 75+ who have
never usedthe internet and a further 0.24 million who have used but not in the last 3
months.
