It’s Quiet Out There
I wonder if many Network members are using Facebook? My grandchildren are avid members posting on this site many photographs of themselves and friends, sometimes in fairly unbecoming situations; likewise my great nephews and nieces. I only know because I have been shown them. But 60- 80 year olds? Something explains why this site and the parent website does not have more traffic. I suspect it is because a lot of members use the web very infrequently, many just checking their email If you are reading this and I am wrong please tell me.

Well I’m still here! No, I don’t use Facebook and I can’t see any reason why I would wish to do so. Likewise YouTube. I can’t explain the lack of enthusiasm for online dialogue in your 60-80 demographic. Maybe they are not, like me (and you?), in the habit of logging onto the internet while they drink their first cup of coffee and rub the sleep from their eyes. I now can’t imagine life without the internet and email. Is this sad? I don’t think so. I view the internet as a hugely valuable resource and have even been known to castigate the grandchildren for ‘frivolous’ use of the internet such as playing on-line games. Now this is sad!
