AbstractThe internet enables people to connect to resources, and previous research has contributed to understanding how people use the internet in their later lives (e.g., Llorente-Barroso et al., 2023; Vulpe & Crăciun, 2020). However, a gap exists in knowledge about different clusters of baby boomers who tend to have better digital skills compared to older generations, based on a sophisticated analysis of time spent across a diverse spectrum of online activities. Additionally, little research has discussed older users’ perceptions of internet overuse. This study aims to explore different types of internet use patterns among baby boomers, with a focus on perceived internet overuse, while examining the relationship between internet use patterns, social capital, and living arrangements.Keywords: digital divide, internet use, baby boomers, social capital, living arrangement
