Abstract

This paper presents a case study of a 79 year old video blogger called ‘Geriatric1927’, and his use of the video sharing website, YouTube. Analysis of his first eight video blogs, and the subsequent text responses, reveals opportunities of this medium for intergenerational contact, reminiscence, reciprocal learning and co-creation of content, suggesting that older people can be highly motivated to use computers for social contact. The paper concludes by noting the importance of technologies that are socially engaging and meaningful for older people, and pointing to ways in which the social life of YouTube might be better promoted on its interface.

‘We received permission via email from ‘Geriatric1927’ to study his video postings and the responses made to them. We have had subsequent communications via email with Peter and have received feedback from him on an earlier draft of this paper where he stated that “the way that you used me as an example was both flattering and accurate”.

As at Dec 5 2006, Wikipedia listed Geriatric1927 as one of the top 10 ‘notable YouTube celebrities’—http://​en.​wikipedia.​org/​wiki/​YouTube.
