released about Facebook users shows that the number of those over the age of 55 who are active on the site has actually decreased over the past two months. The report speculates that the boomer generation is just not as familiar with how to effectively use Facebook as a tool to stay in touch with friends and family. BizReport Americanizing Shelley hd Old School download also suggests that some see privacy concerns as a factor in baby boomers’ diminished use of Facebook. An interesting point – Baby boomers may not be familiar with the social terms and activities of social networking technologies, but to what extent, if any, is privacy a concern? I’ve mentioned before how kids view privacy differently than adults, particularly when it comes to posting information and pictures online. Perhaps some adults still feel that all the information you can potentially post about yourself on online is actually too much information? The ability to protect personal privacy could be a factor in boomers choosing not to use social networks. Older Internet users would benefit from gaining a greater understanding of privacy setting tools that are available online today and using those tools to help protect their personal information.
