A recent study conducted at Lowa has reported that only 27 % of Lowan citizens who are aged 70 and more subscribe to high-speed Internet, and 50% of these citizens don't even possess a computer.
A nonprofit subsidiary of Connection has come up in Lowa which endorses acceptance and usage of broadband access as well as high speed internet. This has been done to create partnerships with communities and bridge the technology gap existing in Iowa with the senior citizens.
According to this new report, the aim of this project is to offer senior citizens with an access to lifesaving applications and services which are possible to have only with the home subscription of high speed internet.
Amy Kuhlers, who is a state program manager for Connect Iowa said that "The main concern is that there are a number of applications which most of the senior citizens are unfamiliar with." He further added that high-speed internet is inevitable for stress-free access to government services, healthcare resources, banking tools as well as shopping options.
The report reveals that 39 % of Iowa's seniors don't understand the importance and association of high speed internet to their lives and 24 % reported that they are not aware of the usage of the computer and Internet.
