Abstract

One of the most important life stages that senior citizens experience is the need to share the legacy of their lives with others. While many senior citizens are able to share these with family members, many others do not have the opportunity or the people to share this important time in their lives with. This project was designed with both of these groups in mind in an attempt to connect seniors with others through the social networking site, Facebook. The element of writing was also adopted into the project as a means to get seniors to reflect on their lives and their legacies. By joining the elements of Facebook connections and writing, seniors will be able to reach a vast amount of people and share their stories with others, leaving a legacy behind for future generations to learn from.
