About eighteen months ago years ago, I wrote a directory page that calculated the average age on a network. The age was quite a bit higher than any of us liked, so I added a configuration option where one could set an average age they were more comfortable with when they personally viewed the stats.

Most people - or at least, most of those who cared enough to set the config - were comfortable with an average age between thirty and forty.

Thus, I believe the result of this thread is that all surveys asking for age should, from now on, contain "Over 35" as the highest bracket.

I don't need false teeth, have several sets. I'd like a better memory so I can remember where I put them.

In addition, a lot of people above 50 are retired and work online to supplement their
retirement income.

Also, a lot of people with disabilities work online and many above 50 years of age.

There are also a lot of people above the age of 50, that work online as a hobby...
something else to do.

@ valerie Among these, to which category do you belong

Fortunately, for the most part, I don't have disabilities.

I'm not retired in the sense of collecting retirement income, I'm still a bit too young for that.

I am retired in the sense that I don't have a paying job offline. I stopped working offline, about
18 years ago.

I'm not working online to supplement my income, because my income does come from online.

I'm not sure I would refer to my time online as a hobby since I have many things I do offline
that might fall more into the activity/hobby range.

Until now 100 members voted the poll. We can see 33 percent members are above 50 years. Really I was not expecting this. In below 50 range maximum members are in the age group of 31 - 40.

Dear Given2fly1981, I think you may be too old for this one!!!??

I thought many of us would be in the Above 50 range, !!!!

Well, I'm looking forward to a few extra pairs of eyeglasses ( I still mistake those small dogs on the captcha as cats )

No they cant do that because they think everyone over 50 goes pee pee in their pants.
