The article discusses a woman named Sophie Ferrara, who celebrated her 105th birthday this past October. She is well known throughout New York City for cheering on sports teams. In addition to her passion for sporting teams such as the Giants, Rangers, and Knicks, Sophie loves social media. Known as "Nana Sophie" to her thousands of followers, she joined Facebook and Twitter when she turned 100. She has about 3,000 people that follow her on Facebook and just over 1,000 followers on Twitter. Sophie is such a sensation because she is one of the oldest people using social media.
Whenever Sophie wants to post a video or picture on social media, she has one of her family members do it for her. Sophie has touched her thousands of followers with her kind-heart and upbeat personality. Her granddaughter said, "her thing is just be kind, do good and you'll never have to worry about anything."
The article also mentioned that Sophie's only birthday wish is to be able to continue meeting new friends through social media. She wants to meet friends from all over the world, and "have a friend in every city and every country," according to her granddaughter.
I thought this article was worth sharing because it's not only related to social media, it's something many people can appreciate. I think it is adorable that this elderly woman is learning how to use social media and is so enthusiastic about it. Maybe Sophie's participation on social media sites will start a trend and cause more elderly people to create accounts and want to learn more about it.
As Sophie Ferrara proves to be true, there's definitely no age limit on social media!
