Today’s grandparents are joining their grandchildren on social media. In the UK the over—55s are joining social media sites in increasing numbers, meaning that they will soon be the second biggest user group of these sites, with 3.5 million users aged 55—64 and 2.9 million over—65s.
Sheila, aged 59, says, "I joined to see what my grandchildren are doing, as my daughter posts videos and photos of them. It’s a much better way to see what they’re doing than waiting for letters and photos in the post.
That’s how we did it when I was a child
, but I think I’m lucky I get to see so much more of their lives than my grandparents did."
Unexpectedly, Sheila’s grandchildren are less likely to use social media sites themselves. Children under 17 in the UK are leaving the sites — only 2.2 million users are under 17 — but they’re not going far from their smartphones. Chloe, aged 15, even sleeps with her phone. "It’s my alarm clock, so I have to, " she says. "I look at it before I go to sleep and as soon as I wake up." Unlike her grandmother’s generation, Chloe’s age group is spending so much time on their phones at home that they are missing out on spending time with their friends in real life. Sheila, on the other hand, has made contact with old friends from school that she has not heard from in forty years. "We use social media sites to arrange to meet all over the country, " she says. "They have changed my social life completely."
Teenagers might have their parents to thank for their smartphone addiction (上瘾) as their parents were the early users of smartphones. Peter, 38 and a father of two teenagers, reports that he used to be on his phone or laptop constantly. "I was always connected and I felt like I was always working, " he says. "How could I tell my kids to get off their phones if I was always in front of a screen myself?" Thus, in the evenings and at weekends, he takes his SIM card out of his smartphone and puts it into an old-style mobile phone that can only make calls and send text messages. "I’m not completely cut off from the world in case of emergencies, but the important thing is that I’m setting a better example for my kids and spending more quality time with them."
