Ageing on-line in risk society is a study about elderly generations and their use of social media. It goes into the details of how it can either benefit them or how it could help them. The study is written by Irena Carpentier Reifova who is works at Charles University in the Social Sciences and Department of Media Studies. She works on critical media studies and has interests in popular culture. This was also written by Sylvie Fiserova who is a Ph.D. student at the Department of Media Studies. She has a master’s degree in Media Studies and is working on her PhD project that deals with the usage of new media by middle-aged people. The study is talking about how older generations do not necessarily find the internet and new innovative technologies that useful. It also goes into the risks that social media has. It can be a risk to your health and to your own ontological security which is a sense of order and stability in regards to your own life. The one shortcoming it may have is that the study is targeting a very high level audience so it could be difficult to understand it at times.
