A new social networking website has been set up to allow the over-50s to talk directly to the government about issues that concern them.
Each week a new topic is started on GenerationXperience and you can add your views as well as suggest other areas you'd like covered.
The
site also contains links to other organisations – such as Age Concern
and Help the Aged – as well as information about events in your area.
Online debates
There
are also plans to link GenerationXperience to other social networking
sites, including Myspace, Facebook, YouTube and Flickr.
The website underlines the growing importance of ‘silver surfers’.
The
government says that a quarter of all internet users are now over the
age of 50, with people over 65 spending more hours online, on average,
than any other age group.
