I’ve heard about this “granny” sometime ago, but recently it has been all over the news and I found it interesting to share with my readers. It demonstrates, not only how ageless the internet is, but how personal willing can reshape people.

At 95, this spanish elder is considered the oldest blogger in the world. And guess what, she has more success than the majority of the bloggers around.

Online for less than one year, María Amelia López has managed to attract over 500,000 visits to her space on the internet, 95 years old blogger.

While for the most tech savvy, the “95 years old blogger” might not be much than a curiosity, for her it’s almost a personal statement of how the internet can be conquered, independently of age. Knowing this can be a fantastic lesson for many.

When I saw my grandson using the Internet, it caught my attention. I said to myself “What’s this? You can find out about anything. I want an Internet!”

Way to go granny López!

  1. Hell yeah, I think everyone should embrace blogging and the internet…my dad isn’t 95, he’s 73 and has his own blog. Many old people are resistant to change but those that utilize it must really enjoy it.

  2. wow. a techy grandma! My grandma has passed away but if she is still alive, I wish she’ll be a tech savvy too. we can be tech buddies!
