It's rather worrisome to see this trend, especially considering many countries have a ageing population (e.g. Finland, Japan. Seems to be a problem in EU in general). So not only is it a growing demographic, better online services that are actually useable by this demographic might ease some of the economic burden these countries face in taking care of the elderly.
This will probably be something I'll try to take up in any future projects I'm part of, even if I'm more of a developer than designer.

That's where this ought to be better recognized, so right on!
