Nonna tweets

One of the best Twitter stories I’ve heard tops this episode of Spark, a podcast about technology and culture.

“My grandmother is on Twitter. She’s enthused, and excited, and I haven’t seen her that way in a very long time.”

@documentally‘s time on Twitter with his nonna brings surprising rewards.

Questions never asked prompt stories never heard, while @Granumentally reminds us that older people remain curious – “interested in life” – getting just as much a buzz out of the internet as you and me.

Lovely story that suggests a project for library and aged care staff working together.

As the presenter says in the introduction, you don’t necessarily need a computer to go online… Listen here or download the mp3.
