The use of the internet and its’ providing information enables the elderly also known as the aging population to face in more easy way all the problems and complications of contemporary lifecycle, invading the restrictions of the emotional besides social loneliness, therefore, accomplishing a more worth life. The main of this article is to discover how the aging population were conversant with the internet, the reasons that reduce the familiarly of the aging population with the internet, and identifying strategies to improve the usage of the internet by the elderly (Arning & Ziefle, 2007). The study sample comprised of 300 people ranging from 65 to approximately 85 years old. The data collection was led by completing a questionnaire (anonymous). Also, the data analysis is being achieved using the one-way ANOVA x2 -test and the SPSS 15 statistical package and, there was the application of t-tests for the process of statistic (Aldridge, 2004). The results Of the 300 people that were considered, 166 are women than 134 men. 80% are between the age of 65 and the age of 74 years. All the responses stated low or no daily usage of the internet. In detail, 60% of women had a smartphone and/or access to a computer, but only 30% of women were conversant with using the internet while 80% of men have a smartphone and/or access to a computer yet 45% of them were conversant with using the internet. Females confronted further worries compared to men with a statistic important variance (Carpenter & Buday, 2007). It is a normal procedure for aging to occur. Deduction in all mental and biology functions takes place, resulting in losing patience and exhaustion. The elderly regularly experience through the oppositions of current actuality as the active knowledge and technology. Therefore, elderly require suitable guidance with big support with the aim of adaptation to the problems and difficulties of daily life.
