Catching up on my Blogs as I was on Holiday, so here goes.

This survey was designed to target people aged 35 – 60.  The reason for this survey is to ascertain if Facebook users in this age bracket firstly: use messenger on Facebook and secondly if they use messenger on their mobile phones.

I am interested in this because I am in this age bracket and until recently was very reluctant to add messenger to my mobile phone, although I used it on Facebook on my laptop.  I felt that having it on my phone was encouraging me to interact more with others on-line as I had previously only interacted through messenger when I decided to log onto Facebook, which might not be every day.  Friends of mine were asking why I hadn’t replied to them and I was constantly saying that I didn’t see their message.  I felt forced in some ways to download the messenger app onto my phone and yes I use it most days now.  I would also like to find out if older Facebook users use messenger as much as younger people.
