First blog for all Quorten's blog-like writings

As a curiosity, I was wondering, how are seniors handling 2020? Like, emotionally, do they think they’re making it? And well, I’ve got a bunch of interesting info.

First of all, they felt very well at the first stages of pandemic quarantine. Like, we’re all in this together. But at the same time, may of them were not taking as many precautions as they should have. But, it is the later stages that really gets them. When quarantine is being gradually lifted, they’re seeing younger citizens enjoy in-persosn socialization while they still have to be in quarantine, and they worry that they will be cast out of society in a way.

But, this article, it is the most interesting, it really makes no mention of the pandemic but focuses on the big picture from a marketing standpoint in general, before and after the pandemic. How do seniors spend their time online, and how much? Of those seniors who do spend time online, they tend to be highly educated, theyspend the most time online of all demographics, and they are extensive participants in the more “serious” online activiies of eCommerce and investing. By comparison, younger online users primarily use the Internet for entertainment. And no, they don’t want to pay for their entertainment either.

So, if you’re looking for a tech investor, highly educated seniors are good candidates who would be willing.
