The middle-aged web

June 20, 2006 - 2:24pm — yelvington

Pew has some interesting data on Internet penetration and usage around the world, and it appears that there's a big uptick in the numbers of middle-age Web users.

Yet the myth persists of a medium dominated by young users. The young, I think, are living in mobile text messaging and -- when at home -- AIM. To connect with younger people, do we need to be more "snacky?"

The young may be on the Web sometimes, but if Nicholas Carr is right, they're on to grab text for school reports.
