Facebook also creates a divide between people that have Facebook and people that don't. It's especially weird when that divide is between you and your immediate family. Luckily I'm someone who isn't too bothered by it.
Although this may be limited to my personal experience, I don't notice it with the men. Some of them still have flip phones.
The difference here is that most seniors won't have that opportunity to adapt, due to age (time to live) or declining cognitive function.
Most recently, my mother has fallen into the outrage news & talk show cess pool. She'll happily watch history, knitting, antiques, wildlife shows. But once those programs are over, she reverts to the default channels.
I'd like someone to create Old People TV. Just happy feel good programming. And parental control type apps for seniors.
PS- Even worse are the ads preying on the elderly. Criminal.
