Incorporating original interviews and survey results from thousands of people sixty and over\, Wired Wisdom shows that many\, in fact\, use technology in ways that put younger peers to shame. Over-sixties are often nimble online and quicker to abandon social media platforms that don’t meet their needs. Despite being targeted more often\, they also may be less likely to fall for scams than younger peers. And fake news actually fools fewer people over sixty\, who have far more experience evaluating sources and detecting propaganda. Still\, there are unseen risks and missed opportunities for this group. Hargittai and Palfrey offer practical advice and show that our stereotypes can be hurdles that keep us from building intergenerational support communities\, helping loved ones adopt new technology that may improve their lives\, and thriving together online. \nReceive 30% off your book purchase from University of Chicago Press with code: UCPNEW \nJohn Palfrey is president of the John D. and Catherine T.
