This is moronic.
Of course the percentage of seniors now using the Internet is far higher than in 2000. There barely was an Internet in 2000 and not nearly as many people of all ages used it. You probably could make exactly the same case for those 18 and under. There also wasn't anywhere close to the numbers of computers and other devices and ubiquitous connectivity.
The people now reaching the ago of "seniors" are the ones who built the Internet, personal computers, networking and associated protocols, cellular networks, relational databases, HTML/CSS/Java/JavaScript/C/object-oriented programming, visual IDEs, etc., etc., to begin with. lol
