50 Funny Images Of Old People Making Use Of Social Media And Things Didn't Go As They Had Planned
It took some time before senior citizens began to use social media, but they are gradually catching up.
Tim Berners-Lee, a computer scientist, published the source code for the first web browser and editor in the early 1990s. It was a free and simple-to-use tool that later evolved into the internet as we know it today.
Of course, there were many who questioned the technology's long-term viability, not to mention those who didn't care for "childish activities" because their lives were already centered around other things.
But now that their loved ones, including friends and family, are all utilizing social media, even these individuals are setting up accounts to interact with them. According to Dr. Alexandra Solomon, a relationship expert, "Social media provides a platform for connection that many older adults may find lacking in their daily lives," which highlights a shift in how older generations engage with technology. Dr. Alexandra Solomon emphasizes that older adults often turn to social media to bridge the gap left by declining in-person interactions.
This perspective sheds light on the unique motivations behind social media use among older populations, a group whose engagement has not received much attention. While it's admirable that they're making an effort to navigate all the frightening gear and software, some of their failures are pure comedic gold.
And the funniest ones may be found on the Old People's Facebook, which is an Instagram account.

Boomers and Traditionalists who chose better life satisfaction used Facebook and Instagram less to combat loneliness and the need for company. Those who chose lower life satisfaction utilized Facebook to make up for the loss.
So, whenever you observe older people having some difficulty on social media, don't pass judgment. Most likely, they're just attempting to contact someone.
