The European questionnaire on Information and Communication Technologies Data reveals that there exists a disparity between the internet usage of people from different age groups. This disparity although present in most countries, differs widely in its severity. In 2023, 92 percent of people between 16 and 24 years responded that they used the internet to research information about goods and services online. 85 percent of people in Portugal aged between 25 and 64 relied upon the internet to find such information. The oldest group, aged between 55 and 64, was least likely to research goods and services online.
