Summary/Abstract: The digitally wise human does not have to be a digital native as even a digital immigrant can achieve digital wisdom. For people aged 85 or more and publishing on the Web (digital sages 80+) creative writing results in social media connection and new media inclusion. However, it is mainly an expression of intergenerational transfer in which seniors’ wisdom matches digital competences of their younger cooperators. Such model of seniors’ creative writing on the Web is illustrated by action research and metaphorically named silver digital content.
