Facebook Users Are growing Dramatically: 55 & Older

The Canadian Press reports that Amy Webb, a consultant and chief executive of Webbmedia Group that "Facebook users now are people who are much older, people who are retirees or who are in their 50's, 60's and they're starting to use Facebook as a primary means of communication". Users aged 55 and older grew by an astounding 514 percent in the previous 6 months according to iStrategy labs" That's another indication of the revolution that continues to take place in communication.

I remember when Interwood was founded in 1974, we started with a telephone, a typewriter and a telex machine. Soon the fax machine was invented and eliminated the need for our telex machine. Then came the personal computer which eliminated the typewriter. And next the internet and email enabled everyone to talk on equal grounds to everyone else!

Then the social sites were invented and we are where are are today with Facebook, Twitter and a host of other social sites! And it's early days yet! I can't imagine what's to come!
