silver surfers
Elderly internet users
Silver surfers are older adults who use the internet, typically those of retirement age.
The term plays on the image of "surfing the web" combined with silver hair: The library offers computer classes for silver surfers.
The phrase is mildly dated itself, from an era when elderly internet users were noteworthy rather than commonplace.
