皮尤（Pew社交媒体是50岁以上的人。
所有年龄段的团体都在社交网络潮流中继续飞跃，而年轻的年龄段仍然是主要的群体。But in the 50-and-up bracket, use of social networking has almost doubled from 22% in April 2009 to 42% in May 2010. If you’re talking about the 50- to 64-year-old bracket, the figure leaped from 25% to 47%, and for those over 65 the figure shot from 13% of the population using social nets to 26%. Seventy-six percent of young users 18 to 29 used social nets in 2009, and this rose to 86% this year, in comparison.
来自2200名美国成年人调查的其他数据还显示，在Twitter等社会状况网站上，老年用户的兴趣越来越大：现在有11％的美国人使用推特或今年的类似地点，去年仅5％，而年龄段的6％每天都这样做，而2009年仅为1％。
The report’s author, Mary Madden, notes that this is significant because while email is still “the primary way that older users maintain contact with friends, families, and colleagues,” the older generation are leaping to adopt social media to manage communications in numbers that makes gains among the younger age group “pale in comparison.” Why is this happening? Pew doesn’t make any attempt to dig into the reasoning, but it’s likely to be partly natural–adoption of new tech propagating up through the age groups, similar to the old “银色冲浪者现象 - 诸如Twitter和Facebook之类的服务找到扩大的业务用途作为促销工具，并作为企业对消费者联系系统。
只有一个负面影响：以前的棘手问题是，是否在Facebook上“朋友”您的父母现在可能已经扩展到包括您的奶奶。
