Re: what do you consider "older"

Do you mind if I ask your age?

I'm beginning to think I must be in the minority, because I know plenty of people 50+ that fully understand and accept internet communities. Not only understand but participate in, actually. And I thought this wasn't that odd, but from both yours and others replies I'm beginning to re-think that.

And a big +1 to your final paragraph.

Almost 30.

I know plenty of people 50+ that understand and accept internet communities as well, but I met them all online, so I don't and can't use that as anything to measure by. Even then, they are always a tiny fraction of the people in the community as a whole. I have never met a 55+ person IRL either casually or even at the workplace, who truly gets what an internet community is. I live in a large city, so it's not that my location is backwater, either.

Sorry, didn't specify but I was talking people I know irl. But I think I just naturally have a more nerdy or techy circle of friends and people I know, so that might explain the odds.

Studies done, if you want some numbers.

Population disparity: 55+ was about 1 in 8, internet-wide (not social media and communities).

Here's a more updated one with a chart at the bottom.

I love Pew surveys, they're neat to look at.
