Martha Lane Fox Plan to Get All Britons Online

futurelab default header

The UK’s digital champion (Martha Lane Fox) has announced plans to get everybody of working age in Britain online by the end of the current Parliament.

There are currently 10 million Britons who are not using the Internet and a lot of these people are 65+.

She says that no-one should reach retirement age without gaining experience of using the Web. That is one hell of a target to set.

You can download the complete report from here. For collectors of factlets about the state of “online-UK” it is full of facts and figures.
