Researching

Mia spoke about her mum to the group and she has told us that her mum uses the social networking site 'Twitter'. She lives in the countryside and it enables her to keep up to date with what is going on in the world. She also has interests in conspiracy theories so she can interact and talk to other people that are interested in them. She has over a 1000 followers.

Company members did further research and statistics show that people between the ages of 35-44 have the highest percentage in using social networking sites. I have mentioned lifestyle before and the people between these ages may have buisness' online on social networking sites and again lifestyle and peoples jobs of this age may relate to the results of the graph.

Peoples stories and Liverpool Lives could adapt Twitter's layout and how controlled people's information is. Whereas facebook is quite invasive. This way it may be more inviting for the older generation as personal details are not given out.

Also Peoples Stories layout of all the videos could be off putting for an elderly person as it is alot to take in. A more simple layout may be more easier for them.
