Social networking is not just a region dominated by young people. According to a recent survey conducted myvouchercodes.co.uk sites in the UK, one of the seven Facebook users are grandfathers and grandmothers.
One of Seven users frequently opening Facebook account are grandmother or grandfather The survey was conducted on each site visitor. They were then asked to answer questions. Of the thousands of visitors who submit an answer, as many as 1341 participants of whom are seniors over the age of 60 years or had grandfathers and grandmothers.
By 71 per cent of the amount claimed to exist in cyberspace through the social networking site Facebook, 31 percent use Twitter and Facebook, and only 9 percent who use Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
More than half of seniors surveyed claimed to have social networking accounts more than one year. They say want to use social media services that drive because of the children or grandchildren.
One purpose of using social networking is to find old friends or to stay connected with friends and family are far apart. However, few of them who often view their account. On average the elderly was only opened a Facebook account once a week, and some even visited the new account once a month.
"Obviously there is the role of young people here," said lead MyVoucherCodes.co.uk, Mark Pearson. "The reason, at their young age no one knows the Internet."
Pearson said, with the presence of the elderly in social media, then the assumption that older people have minds that are "loose" was wrong. "It turns out they could use it," he said. Their children and grandchildren, said Pearson, of course, would love to see the existence of parents or their grandparents on the Internet.
