TechnologTechnolog on msnbc.com Article August 2010 by Suzanne Choney Social networking use by Internet users ages 50 and older nearly doubled in the past year going from 22 percent in April 2009 to 42 percent in May 2010 according to the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project’s new report, "Older Adults and Social Media." What happens in America today happens here tomorrow!

Daily Mail 14 th April 2011 Social networks keep older brains active Better memories Reduced anxiety, stress and depression Keeps the culture of curiosity alive Contact with younger family members Research by Marco Trabucchi of the Association of Psychogeriatrics - Italy

"One of the main reasons for older adults' increased interest and use of social networking sites: They know Facebook and Twitter are where their kids and grandkids are spending time, and it’s a way to ‘bridge generational gaps’." “Social Networking is generally seen as a teen activity but within the last few years there has been a surge in the number of older users joining social networking sites. The main reason is simply connecting with old friends or just the family. There are a number of ways the internet can aid the elderly, but access to their families as well as many commercial services, are the most useful.”

 Long term objective to provide 24/7 online support  Using existing / leading edge technology  No one need feel isolated or alone again  Prolonging independent living  Supports important aims - Intergenerational involvement / Digital inclusion / Partner in Race Online 2012
