Senior Citizens Least Likely To Fall For Spam
from the good-for-them dept
My grandparents know to ignore and delete spam because they're pretty net savvy individuals who read Techdirt every day - and know that spam is bad news. However, many people assume that the growing crowd of senior citizens online are less internet savvy, and thus, more likely to fall for spam scams. A new study, however, suggests that (as we used to believe) our elders are wiser that we might think. According to the study, senior citizens are the least likely to respond to spam, while all those 18-to-29 year-old know-it-alls who are keeping the spammers happy by replying. Of course, this was an online survey, so all the usual caveats apply.

Of course senior citizens rely the least to spam.
The vast majority of them cannot access a remote control, let alone an email program.
dorpus, starting med school and becoming a med school experiment are two entirely different career paths.
