As I’m sure you’ve heard us mention before, we bloggers here at OASL are what people are calling “digital natives.” Lately, however, we’ve also been realizing that there are a number of folks out there who are being reborn digitally.
Check out this classic example:
Friend of mine and prominent vlogger, Steve Garfield, just informed me that his 82 year-old mother will be on ABC World News with Charlie Gibson in a segment about innovative retirement tonight.
Even at age 82, Millie Garfield has been blogging regularly and creating and maintaining a community of friends online – talk about being digitally reborn! She represents one of the Internet’s oldest bloggers.
Tune in to ABC World News at 6:30 p.m. (coastal times) or 5:30 p.m. (central time) and watch for clips of Millie! Steve will also be posting a behind-the-scenes video of part of her interview to her blog (http://mymomsblog.blogspot.com), available once the segment airs tonight.
Be sure to also follow her Twitter updates @MillieGarfield.
Congrats, Millie!

Great post! Thanks! Love the term ‘digitally reborn’.
My grandmom can’t blog. But she does have a computer, loves sending Forwards and talking to me on AIM.
Oh man, family forwards are the worst Lee:)

Thanks for a great post about me!!
