Summary | According to a study, seniors (64+) prefer using WhatsApp and Facebook because they can connect with their grandchildren. Also, using new media make them feel young and modern. With social media, seniors feel active and integrated. However, they don't choose social media to have more relationships; most of them already are very social offline. They like WhatsApp a lot because they can create groups (family, friends, etc.) and keep in touch with everyone. They also like the fact they can stay in touch with their grandchildren and share pictures with them. Seniors like to communicate using memes, videos, and images; it is actually more difficult for them to write.

Summary | Stephen Wozniak claims that new technologies allow people to connect with people with similar tastes and concerns, which is something positive. New technologies bring good sociological changes. Even if people may communicate less face-to-face, our new ways to communicate are positive; they allow us to connect with people alike. Parents should not be worried about their kids and the way they communicate.
