This is a recent article I found that relate's to this weeks topic of social networking. The article discusses the uses of social networking for older generations, and provides many statistics, some of which come from the Pew Project we study. As the article shows, older generations use social networking for many of the same uses as teens and young adults. The article may be help you think of questions related to this week's discussions. Here's a little excerpt to help you get an idea of what the article is about: "Whether it's congressmen Twittering during presidential speeches, parents connecting with high school flames on Facebook or empty-nesters planning group outings on grown-up sites such as Eons.com, Baby Boomers are speeding up the Web's ongoing metamorphosis from limitless void to global watering hole. Social networking is fast becoming a staple for a growing number of adults as Web use surges. One-third of adult Internet users have a profile on a social networking site, up from 8% in 2005, according to the Pew Internet & American Life Project. And though adults share some teen habits - checking in with friends, planning get-togethers - they differ from the younger set in their desire to use the medium to meet new friends from across the country."
