Visitors
to the website www.MedicareHMO.com are given the option to register to receive
e-newsletters and announcements. Those
visitors who previously registered were asked demographic questions including
their age and their experience with the Internet.
The following table displays the percentages of registrants by age range
and Internet experience.
Of note is
that the percentage of members "60 or over" compared to the
"under age 60" members is significantly higher in the "less than
6 months" category, supporting the premise that Seniors are actively
gaining Internet experience. While
Seniors do not have the same level of historical experience with the Internet
relative to younger age groups they are the most proactive age group accessing
the Internet of those with less than 6 months experience.
