The Pew Center is doing interesting work on how people use the internet. Did you know that the thing people do the most online is search, and second most is get health information? At every age. So teenagers and olds are all preoccupied with their bodies and how they are holding up, and what the pain at the base of your neck could mean, and that mole…what about that mole? So worth a look. A few surprises, not the least of which is the label they’ve applied to the 65-73 cohort. The have Younger Boomers (46-55) and Older Boomers (56-64). And then the Silent Generation. Really, Pew? Do you know anyone 65 years old? Sure, some are quiet. But a lot of them talk and their filters are way, way down.
