‘Put away the cozy image of the little old lady knitting a sweater for the grandkids’
By Alexandra Reid
This is a story about a 70-year-old woman who wants nothing to do with social media but is doing it anyway, inspired by an article I read on ReadWriteWeb last week, “Why boomers won’t release their grip on technology.”
Please let me first point out that I know she is not of the Boomer generation. I’ll get to that later.
According to the article’s author, Brian Proffitt, we need to “Put away the cozy image of the little old lady knitting a sweater for the grandkids, or the distinguished gentlemen playing chess in a park, because the newest elder generation is not going to sit quietly in a rocking chair.”
