As summarized in a recent article from the Dallas Morning News, seniors are getting online. The Baby Boomer demographic saw the greatest percentage increase in online use since 2005, from about 25% to 45%, and as they get online more and more into retirement communities and become “seniors”, the use of the internet and social media is only going to keep growing. The article talks about communities in Dallas that are getting their residents onto the web. As you may know, for instance, one of our main characters, Sam, is on Facebook. Whenever we talk about it, he says, “I get on Facebook, but I have no clue what I’m doing on it!” Of course, that joke is betrayed by the fact that every now and again he writes on my wall and sends me a message. Did you see the video of us helping Sam sign up for Facebook?
