With older generations adopting social media platforms faster than ever, there are people of all ages making an impact on the social media world. As the platforms increase in popularity, people are looking to broaden their reach and scope within the platform. People live such busy lives these days that this process is tiresome and time-consuming, but thankfully, we now have solutions to these problems. An example of this comes in the form of Instagram bot automation software, a clever piece of software that automates some of Instagram’s processes in order to achieve real results for the user.

Understanding What An Instagram Bot Does
Instagram bot automation is a relatively new term amongst platforms users, however recently it seems to be gaining traction amongst keen social media users. It is a tactical approach to generating interactions with other users in a way helps grow your social media influence. This process usually involves automating the selected account so it generates views on other pages, meaning that nothing is done in a spamming way that might get the account flagged. These bots have the potential to give people the power to reach new users and do it in a very unobtrusive way.

For The Young And Old
One of the biggest attractions that social media platforms have for older people is the power of connectivity, and its inherent ability to make reaching out to old forgotten friends a common occurrence. Getting in touch with old acquaintances has never been easier, and with built-in messaging interfaces, communication has become fast and convenient for everyone. Childhood friends and mates from school can be found instantly and direct communication can be made with ease, radically changing the way we network and connect with people in our lives.

Get Real Connections With An Instagram Bot
The ability social media has not only to connect people, but also to share information has great appeal to people of all ages. The case can be made that past generations prefer news in a physical format, like a newspaper or magazine, but there is evidence to show that the uptake of online information by over 50-year-olds is substantial. News in this format is easily digestible, readily available and always fast, meaning that readers are always receiving quick and quality information. Of course, everyone knows that you have to be careful of ‘fake news’ and other spam type news stories, but platform staff are well aware of these outlets and work very hard to keep them out of the public domain.

Gen Z vs Baby Boomers
The fresh-faced ‘Generation Z’ as they are commonly referred to in demographical studies, may have the upper hand in the sense that they grew up with social media in their lives. But that is not to say that they exercise the best use of it. It has often been said that younger generations take a very narcissistic approach when it comes to the use of these platforms, while older generations generally use it in a more constructive way, for example for local and national news and networking opportunities.
