Ericsson ConsumerLab: Connecting the senior generationEricsson
A new study from Ericsson ConsumerLab carried out in the United States shows that seniors who use communications technology feel more enriched, informed, younger and more in touch with others and society.
Social networking is on the rise and study found that 22% of teenagers log onto their favorite social media sites more than 10 times a day. To connect effectively with your children or younger siblings, you have to learn more about the different social media platforms that they are on, understand how each platform work, communicate in their lingo and be seen as a ‘cool’ parent.
The increased level of social engagement also saw the rise of cyberbullying, “Facebook depression” (a new phenomenon where “de-friending” and online bullying lead to symptoms of depression) and exposure to inappropriate content for our young ones.
