Abstract
The grandparent-grandchild (GP-GC) relationship is considered important especially in hyper-aged societies with low birth rates. With the popular trend in information and communication technology (ICT) towards SNS-like crowdsourcing, our aim is to create GP-GC-like relationships among users of online social networks. As a first step, we conducted an experiment in which we connected seniors and young people on an SNS. Our results indicate that seniors are interested in young people’s life-logs, but most of their comments in the experiment were in the form of overbearing or meaningless advice. On the basis of these results, in this paper, we also discuss the design of a system that facilitates an augmented GP-GC relationship.
