Is going digital isolating elderly people?This is something that does trouble me. My 84 year old mum is not and never will be a "silversurfer" , she tried a few years ago but just couldn't get to grips with it. If it were not for me she would miss out on so many savings as I, with her full permission administer her on-line presence by looking after her utility bills and Car insurance etc. which I switch regularly. I also save her money by purchasing on line when she needs something. In doing so as a conservative estimate I save her around £300 a year. It infuriates me that so many services are unavailable to her because she does not embrace the technology, not just the Internet but she also can't text and don't get me started on call centres that ask you to press numerous numbers before speaking to a real person. There must be so many elderly people who don't have a tech savvy daughter to help them who are quite frankly discriminated against.ViewDate:
