Study: Boomers increasingly turn to PC, phone

According to the study, Baby Boomers said they are spending less time each week reading books and newspapers than they were six months ago. At the same time, the group says they are spending more time on their computers and using their cell phones. Listening to music, watching television and using the Internet have remained at a steady consumption rate.

While these study results aren't earth-shattering, they do show a new trend for the Boomer generation: the trend of technology. With more Boomers using computers and cell phones regularly and, at the minimum, using the Internet at a steady rate, it makes sense to take some of advertising dollars online.

The other interesting finding is that radio continues to be a steady source of information for the Boomer generation. When asked about their media consumption in the coming six months, most Boomers said they would continue to listen to the radio. They also expressed an interest in Internet radio and podcasts as information mediums.
