Telikin Extends Facebook Reach to Over 45 Million People.

Most Popular Social Networking Site Now Integrated Into the Simplest, Virus-Free Touchscreen Computer

CHALFONT, Pa. -- Telikin, the easy to use and hassle-free family computer, today announced that the alternative PC will integrate Facebook[TM] into the sleek, touchscreen design. The product was designed to offer a friendly option to baby boomers and older that are looking for the Internet experience including email, games, photo sharing, weather and many more popular features without the frustration of current personal computers.

Snapshot of Telikin target market according to the US Census Bureau:

* There are more than 46.5 million consumers over the age of 60

* The baby boomer generation, those now 44-62 constitute approximately 25% (76 million) of the total US population

* By the year 2012, people age 50 and older in the United States will exceed 100 million

* Most seniors live at home, plus 5.5 million seniors are living in assisted living facilities

"Reports continue to be published about the exponential growth in the baby boomer generation using social networking websites," said Fred Allegrezza, founder and CEO of Telikin. "Facebook is incredibly popular and one of the top platforms for senior citizens to connect with family and friends, the premise behind Telikin."

According to the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project (August, 2010), social networking among Internet users ages 50 and older nearly doubled from 22% in April 2009 to 42% in May 2010. In that time period, social networking use among Internet users age 50-64 grew by a huge 88%. And those 65 and older grew a whopping 100% from 13% to 26%.
