Abstract

This paper presents quantitative data on browsing activities with 63 respondents aged 55 years old and over from three countries: UK, USA and Thailand. The questionnaire explored frequently browsed topics, browser's functions used, problems with standard browsers and features to add to a standard browser to make it more ageing-friendly. The study revealed country-related differences in various aspects of Internet uses, including the topics accessed and places of access. However, no country-related difference was observed on the input device used and the number of browsing windows opened.
