Preliminary Study

Social media technologies represent an emerging means by which older adults can access health and community information, engage in peer-to-peer information sharing, and also potentially decrease social isolation. Privacy concerns, however, have been consistently identified as a barrier for older adults' use of the Web and social media technologies. The authors conduct a preliminary study involving 150 older adult participants, investigating their use and perceptions of social media technologies. The trial involved first providing the participants with brief training in three common social media technologies: Facebook, Twitter, and Skype. The authors carried out a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the participant's use and privacy perceptions of these technologies. Overall, the results are promising as to the potential to address privacy concerns to enable older adults to further utilize these technologies for improved mental, physical, and social health. Implications for future research and usage within the older adult community are also discussed.

The Impact

Present study deals with the impact of social network technologies like email, web forums, chat rooms, wikis, and idea forums on individual mental models and collective wisdom. Theme of collective wisdom has been explored from a systemic perspective considering the parameters that help the organizations and their constituent groups to create and share knowledge, collectively reflect and find sustainable solutions to the problems. Role played by the social media and network technologies in connecting people; facilitating dialogue; knowledge sharing, flexibility and collaboration leading to improved mental models and collective wisdom has been studied in detail using an Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) approach.
