If you are wondering what Grandpa and Grandma are up to recently, look no further than Facebook and YouTube.
How hip can they get?
We first found out that Internet users above 65 online shop more than us and now, they are engaging in social media more actively than before.
I knew this would happen when I see my dad, who is above 65 spend more time YouTubing than talking to me.
According to Nielsen Wire, 6 million more seniors are using the web than 5 years ago; mostly to check their Email. The Internet is also a good source of information for them.
What’s more interesting is that 50% of Senior users view and post pictures online (for stalking purposes?), making it the 5th top activity performed. Where else is best for that than Facebook? This might explain why it is the 3rd most visited online destination for seniors. YouTube follows closely behind at 4th place.
Are these results surprising to you?
