It is impossible to deny that our lives are currently, in a certain sense, managed by social networks. 16 years after the birth of Twitter, 18 from that of Facebook and 12 from that of Instagram, our experience has stopped being confined within the four walls of our homes and has moved to the media arena. Publishing a thought and having the possibility of being read and perhaps "shared" by other users around the web is perhaps not a sort of new frontier of modern freedom of expression?

The Library System Monte Linas promotes a meeting between generations: on the one hand the digital natives, in harmony and symbiosis with new technologies, on the other hand the so-called boomers the generations born in the early 60s or earlier, who (with some exceptions) have a more detached approach to technology.

The occasion is a comparison on social-media with the aim of reducing the digital divide between older and new generations.

Do you want to participate in this experience?

  • Are you 18 or older, a social media expert, and interested in sharing your knowledge with others who might be interested in learning some secrets and getting some advice on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and other social networks?
  • Are you unfamiliar with social media, but would like to understand it, learn its tricks, and use it more?
