Posted In Social Networking - By Geoffrey On Thursday, September 22nd, 2011

Youths have made social media so active in day to day life that imagining a single moment without getting connected is just unbelievable. Facebook, Orkut, Twitter and many more social sites have become a necessity. You can connect yourself with your friends, professionals and relatives within seconds and get the latest updates happening across the nation. Technology has taken a huge leap that things seemed as a dream can now be witnessed in the reality and so the social media has done for its users. These social sites have made the world narrow and easier for us to connect in the fraction of seconds.

Social media will be soon made available for patients and elderly people who fail to connect themselves to the emerging world. The opinion youths have been carrying so far that these social media activities are only meant for them. However, it will no longer remain confined to the section of adolescence rather l become a part of elderly life. Research scientists in Norway have been together working to develop a “Facebook Light” with a user interface that would be of great usage to the elderly people and the one with dementia. It has been observed that people suffering from dementia and old age are kept aside from the social contacts so that they do not get disturbed much. However, this is not true as more of social contact and interaction will keep them active and healthy keeping their mind fresh and interactive.

Communication is important for everyone so why elderly and people suffering from dementia would be kept aloof from the social network. Taking this into consideration the discovery by the Norway scientists “Facebook Light” will help these people in every manner. Giving simple and easy access, Facebook Light will help them to communicate with their relatives and personnel in community. With digital diary and scrapbook features, the social media will help them to share their information while making their lives more collaborating.

Facebook light will be integrated with security features and will help users to maintain and secure their data in a proper manner. Thorough work is been done on it to have more of digital applications so that it becomes easier for them to access and give them comfort to connect in a simple manner. It’s yet to be seen in the market, but for sure will be available in a short span of time.
