  &lt;p&gt;The study also looked at the most popular web destinations for both young and old web users: &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Gaming website Miniclip has the youngest average audience age at 28.1, while Marks &amp;amp; Spencer has the oldest, at 46.5. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;The&#160;destinations with the oldest average visitor age were mainly familiar high street brands, including John Lewis, TUI, Nationwide and M&amp;amp;S. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;The under-25s' favoured web destinations were predominantly entertainment and social sites, including Bebo, RockYou, and Disney Online. &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;strong&gt;The average age of UK internet users is on the rise, thanks to the growing online presence of the over-55s, or 'silver surfers'.&lt;/strong&gt;
  &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;This is the finding from &lt;a href="http://www.netratings.com/pr/pr_071218_UK.pdf"&gt;Nielsen Online's latest study&lt;/a&gt;&#160;(pdf). While the under-25's share of the UK internet population has fallen from 29% to 25%, silver surfers' share has increased from 16% to 19%. &lt;/p&gt;
