Generations & 2.0, Who participates and what they do.

A Busineesweek data chart entitled, "What people are doing. Who participates (U.S. Online users) had some interesting, but not really surprising statistics. The chart divides online users of Web 2.0 into types of participators: Creators, Critics, Collectors, Joiners, Spectators, and Inactives. Then into generational age groups from Young teens(12 to 17) to Seniors (62+). Not surprisingly the largest group of Inactives are Seniors and the largest groups among the rest of the participators are the Youth 18 t0 21. The exception to the rule is Collectors, which the article defines as RSS and Tag users, and no one participates in large numbers, with the largest group being Generation X 22 to 26. Thought the chart would be of interest to the Learning 2.0 group.
