> most retirees don't use smart devices, even though they may have a cell phone.

Really would love a citation for that. My dad is 74, my step mom is retired in her late 60s, all of their church group of about 35 people — every single one has a tablet or smart phone. That’s anecdotal obviously, but this sample is a mix of retired blue and white collar people at a variety of incomes (and ethnic backgrounds.)

Retired boomers are a huge smart device market from my experience.

Same, my mum is a bit younger (61) and she spends more time on the internet than I do (and I'm a software engineer).

She also puts more hours in on her tablet than I do mine and way more hours on the Chromebook I got her for xmas than I do my laptop.

Indeed. If anything, the saying "Facebook is for old people" seems to become truer by the day.
