Learning is a huge factor for people, as it helps understand things in a clear way. Slightly more than half of 65 to 74-year-olds used their mobile phone or smartphone for this purpose. A share of just over 20 percent was seen among people aged 75 or older. Tablets – after mobile phones or smartphones – are most popular for internet use (CBS, 2018). This shows how statistics of the elderly keeps increasing year by year when it comes to activity shown across social media on any platform, most commonly towards facebook. When it comes to seniors and their online use, there are situations in which it’s difficult to understand modern technology.
CCTV have footage of a grandmother (senior) being taught the use of her cellular device and social media by her 16-year old grandson. With that being said, once elders are able to learn different characteristics and features of the social media world, they will be able to start learning new things and take part in online classes, communication and debating.
