| #4 but these numbers are for the ones who are already online. Unless they are just including those who only use the computer for e-mail and not the web I find that percentage amazing. What do they do? Maybe they don't realize they are reading "blogs". |

| #3 I suspect that seniors did not grow up with computers and there are just not the numbers that use computers, therefore not as much blogging activity. |

| #2 and what happened to the numbers from the 30 to "seniors" group? |

| #1 Three percent of online U.S. seniors have created a blog and 17 percent have read someone else's blog, according to the Pew Internet & American Life Project. Compare that to online 18- to 29-year-olds: Thirteen percent have created blogs and 32 percent have read someone else's blog, according to Pew. Don't those numbers seem really low? If that's true, the impact from the internet has barely gotten started. |
