Does anyone actually write letters to the newspaper editor now? Maybe, just a handful of people do. Just about everyone has taken recourse to blogging, to vent out bottled up opinions. Really, who isn’t computer savvy in this tech-obsessed era? Even the seniors either are, or want to be. Blogs have definitely shown them the doors to some post-retirement activity. You can say they are the latest to join the bandwagon of bloggers.
There’s a great amount of interest generated among seniors, to either start a blog site of their own or read someone else’s. Some people have recognized this inclination among seniors, and have set up programs and courses to help them become computer and Internet literates. Some businesses have also started senior computer software that’s specifically created for its ease-of-use.
Most senior bloggers feel they’ve built an identity of their own since they started blogging. It probably gives them a voice, and a channel to express their worldly views. Some have discovered that they can interact with an extensive netizen circle and befriend like-minded people. Current affairs, hobbies and traveling, are some of the favored topics among senior bloggers. Their interest seems to be growing so much; it has forced a few to consider starting a class on blogging. Seniors obviously don’t want to be left behind in the blog race.
