Older adults and screen time – what’s it mean?

Pew’s latest opus examined screen time for older adults.  The highlight of this document published in June – from age 60 to 80 and beyond, older adults spend more time on their screens (watching TV or videos) than on anything else other than sleep. And that includes time spent working. And one other interesting tidbit – 40% of those in their 60s are still working, which of course includes the un-retired.  But 14% of people in their 70s are still working, according to Pew, along with 4% of people in their 80s.  The report also notes that 73% of the 65+ are Internet users, and 53% are smartphone users.  As with the younger population, reading and socializing time has ticked down. What’s on that screen, anyway? For the 65
