Passage One
Today's grandparents are joining their grandchildren on social media, but the different generations' online habits couldn't be more different. In the UK the over-55s are joining Facebook in increasing numbers, meaning that they will soon be the site's second biggest user group, with 3.5 million users aged 55 - 64 and 2.9 million over-65s.
Sheila, aged 59,says, 1 joined to see what my grandchildren are doing, as my daughter posts videos and photos of them. It's a much better way to see what they're doing than waiting for letters and photos in the post. That's how we did it when i was a child, but i think I'm lucky i get to see so much more of their lives than my grandparents did.
Ironically, Sheila's grandchildren are less likely to use Facebook themselves. Children under 17 in the UK are leaving the site - only 2.2 million users are under17 but they're not going far from their smartphones,Chloe,aged 15,even sleeps with her phone.it's my alarm clock so l have to" she says. 1 look at it before l go to sleep and as soon as i wake up.
Unlike her grandmother's generation, Chloe's age group is spending so much time on their phones at home that they are missing out on spending time with their friends in real lifeSheila,on the other hand,has made contact with old friends from school she hasn't heard from in forty years."We use Facebook to arrange to meet all over the country she says. "it's changed my social life completely.
Teenagers might have their parents to thank for their smartphone and social media addiction as their parents were the early adopters of the smartphone, Peter,38 and father of two teenagers, reports that he used to be on his phone or laptop constantly.1 was always connected and i felt like i was always working' he says. 'How could i tell my kids to get off their phones if I was always in front of a screen myself?So,in the evenings and at weekends, he takes his SIM card out of his smartphone and puts it into an old-style mobile phone that can only make calls and send text messages. ''m not completely cut off from the world in case of emergencies, but the important thing is I'm setting a better example to my kids and spending more quality time with them.'
Is it only a matter of time until the generation above and below Peter catches up with the new trend for a less digital life?

如今，祖父母们也在社交媒体上加入了孙辈的行列，但不同世代的上网习惯却大相径庭。在英国，55岁以上的脸书用户越来越多，这意味着他们将很快成为该网站的第二大用户群，目前55至64岁的用户有350万，65岁以
59岁的希拉说，"我加入进来是想看看我的孙子们在做什么，因为我女儿会上传他们的视频和照片。"相比等待正在邮寄的信件和照片，这是一个更好的了解他们在做什么的方式。我小的时候就是这么做的，但我觉得自己很幸
讽刺的是，希拉的孙子们自己不太可能使用脸书。17岁以下的儿童正在远离该网站--只有220万17 岁以下的用户--但他们不会远离自己的智能手机。15岁的克洛伊甚至睡觉时都抱着手机。她说:"这是我的闹钟，所以我必须这样做。我睡觉前和起床后都会看手机。"
与她祖母那一代不同，克洛伊这个年龄段的人花太多时间在家里玩手机，以至于他们错过了在现实生活中与朋友们相处的时间。另一方面，希拉与40年没有联系过的校园老友取得了联系。她说"我们通过脸书安排在全国各地见面。这完全改变了我的社交生活。
青少年之所以智能手机和社交媒体成瘾可能要归咎于他们的父母，因为他们的父母是智能手机的早期使用者。38岁的彼得是两个十几岁孩子的父亲，他说他过去经常使用手机或笔记本电脑。他说"我一直与外界保持联系，我觉得自己一直在工作。如果我自己总是坐在屏幕前，我怎么能让孩子们放下手机?"所以，在晚上和周末，他从智能手机中取出SIM卡，把它装进一台只能打电话和发短信的老式手机里。”在紧急情况下，我并不是完全与世隔绝，但重要的是我为我的孩子们树立了一个更好的榜样，花
