The face of social media is changing.

Adults have become the fastest growing population online and the teenagers aren't quite sure they want to share.

You'd be quite surprised to see who's logging on.

Moms, dads, even grandparents are writing on walls, posting videos and sending out tweets.

“Friends just kept badgering me 'When are you going to get a Facebook? When are you going to get a Facebook?’ I had a few invitations so I decided to go ahead and do it,” says Bernadette smith.

She’s a mother of three and spends her free time catching up with family and old friends on Facebook and MySpace.

“It's really exciting because one of my cousins just had a baby two days ago, so you know, I was able to find out about that immediately practically then, you know, she'll post some pictures, so I’ll get to see those,” says Smith.

Her 17-year-old twins weren't exactly sold on the idea.

“They were like 'Mom, MySpace is for children! Old people shouldn't be on MySpace,” says smith.

But like Smith, Snooky Taylor has made herself quite comfortable on Facebook.

She moved to Enterprise with just her husband and dogs after her home and business were lost in Hurricane Katrina.

“I lost a lot of people in the transition. I miss a lot of people,” says Taylor, “I’m hoping that I can get in touch with them by Facebook.”

She says facebook has kept her connected with her past while helping her make a new home here in the Wiregrass.

“I’ll say, ‘I know you! You're on my facebook page!’ and they'll say ‘You're Snooky!’ and it's just a good feeling to say 'oh we're already friends."

"Many people are getting online to stay in touch with family and friends that live far away.

For example I video chat with my sister on a program called Skype about once a week.

I'm here in Alabama, she's in Africa.

“We’re trying to get the family all networked on Facebook so we can all keep in touch that way. So it makes it nice,” says Smith.

Soon, seniors may be logging on to stay close to grandchildren, great-grandchildren and extended family as part of a group taking computer classes free of charge through Senior Services of America.

“If they become home bound and aren't able to get out, they'll see that they will still be able to receive emails and stay in communication with loved ones. They'll see it's not intimidating and it will keep their minds active. It just opens doors for them,” says Penny Rotolo with SEARPDC.

A lot of seniors are catching on.

They're using the internet to book travel plans, pay bills and get updates on news and weather.

Thursday night, Denise will show us how adults are using social networking sites differently than teenagers.

It's not just about party invitations and music anymore.
