I almost read a comment related to social networks on a forum. The comment was written by a lady, who also said she was 71 years old. For me, nothing unusual, that below was an avalanche of comments "what is that grandmother looking for on social networks" and many other derogatory words. Since I belong to the older generation of social media users, I was very surprised and confused. My first contact with a computer was in college, back in the seventies, when most of today's bloggers, YouTubers, IT experts were not even born ... Although retirees are usually thought to have a phobia of new technologies, statistics show something completely different! Namely, most elderly people surf the Internet every day, have profiles on social networks and increasingly buy online! Older people also like video content, just like their grandchildren, which means that half of retirees use Internet content on YouTube every day, such as funny videos, cute animals, how to make or fix something. I would invite powerful companies to invest as much as possible in pensioners, because in ten years there will be more pensioners in our country and in the world than under 20 years of age ... Skoro sam na nekom forumu pročitala komentar vezan za drustvene mreže. Komentar je napisala gospodja , koja je i rekla da ima 71 godinu. Za mene ništa neobicno, da ispod nije bila lavina komentara ”šta ta baba trazi na društvenim mrezama” i još mnogo pogrdnih reci. S obzirom da pripadam starijoj generaciji korisnika društvenih mreza , bila sam vrlo iznenadjena i zbunjena. Moj prvi kontakt sa kompjuterom bio je na fakultetu, daleke sedamdeset i neke godine, kada se vecina danasnjih blogera, yotjubera, IT strucnjaka nije ni rodila... Iako se obično misli da penzioneri imaju fobiju od novih tehnologija, statistika pokazuje nešto sasvim drugo! Naime, većina starijih osoba svakodnevno surfuje internetom, ima profile na društvenim mrežama i sve češće kupuje na internetu! Stariji takođe vole video sadržaje, baš kao i njihovi unuci, što znači da polovina penzionera svakodnevno koristi internetske sadržaje na YouTubeu, poput smešnih video zapisa, slatkih životinja, kako napraviti ili popraviti nešto. Pozvala bih moćne kompanije da sto više ulažu u penzionere , jer će za desetak godina kod nas, a i u svetu biti vise penzionera nego mladjih od 20 godina...
