Not altogether true. It can be great therapy for elderly people (often
living alone), to get out and about, meet real people and get lots of
fresh air.

Which can be considerably facilitated if elderly people can look up local
events and bus timetables online to plan their outings.

And do their shopping online to give them time for outings as well.

I've 'eard that most people enjoy shopping. It IS an outing.

Bleurch.
