Chris loves the Internet. He’s connected wherever he is, through a laptop, iPad or smartphone. He reads newspapers and books online, together with a wide range of newsletters reflecting his interests, and shares gossip, ideas, photos and video with friends and family. He avoids being swamped by Twitter and Facebook messages by using a news aggregator called Nuzzel that digests what friends are sharing. He does his banking and specialist shopping online, plans trips and checks timetables … often on the move. When he is going to an event it’s usually booked online, and if it’s a meet-up he can see who is coming and carry on chatting online afterwards.
Chris is 73. How many of you reading that opening statement assumed he was in his 20s or 30s?
