The Graying of the Internet

One of the sessions that I didn't have time to blog in Monterey had to do with seniors and their use of the Internet. Allen M. Kleinman from the Old Bridge (N.J.) Public Library put on a good show at the conference discussing serving and training seniors. Check out his postings on Web Junction under Patron Services, Services to Older Adults: http://www.webjunction.org/do/Navigation?category=7763

22% of people 65 and older use the Internet.

Some web sites he suggested:
Cranky.com--popular with users over 45. Clean, simple, nonthreatening results.

SeniorNet--the first site to say that seniors should get on the net. It's a pay as you go training site.

Thirdage.com--a social networking site for seniors.

Allen will soon be hosting a seniors WII tournament at his library. Way cool!!
