Social Networks Are Going Gray
(Newsweek) — The age group that has seen the fastest growth in social network use between 2008 and 2010 was the 55 to 64 crowd, according to a new survey from Pew Research. Two years ago, just 9% of this demographic said they used social networks, but by 2010, that amount has skyrocketed to 43%. Meanwhile, other older age groups have seen similar booms in social networking use. Roughly a third of 65- to 73-year-olds now claim to use sites like Facebook, about triple the amount that professed to using the sites in 2008, and 16% of those 74 and older use social networks, compared to just 4% two years ago.
