With increased clutter on the web, I guess this would be true for any one, not just old people. However this complex reasoning instead of getting credit to trigger grey cells is taking away the time and effort which can be better used elsewhere.

The way data is presented and is spread needs to get more structured. Certain semantic data integration engines are doing a decent job, but its very hard. Something innovative has to happen.


Older adults that learn to use PCs + net etc. are more likely to have increased brain function?
