OMG, gr8-grandmas cn txt!

Today's centenarians are increasingly tech-savvy, with growing numbers of the ederly using instant messages, ipods and the web, according to a survey by Everecare.

Among active americans who are 100 or older, 8% have sent a text message - an eight fold surge from just two years ago, the stydy said.

More than the one in 10 of the superseniors have watched a You-Tube video, and 12% have listened to music on an ipod or a similar MP3 player, triple the figure from 3 years ago.

Staying connected to a social group is vitally important in old age," said Dr. Mark Leenay a senoir vice president at United Healthcare, the insurance companythat offers Evercare health plans. " It's one of the most important things for them".

Indeed 82% of the 100 centenarians polled in the annual " snapshot survey' said they communicate with a friend or family member on a daily basis.

A total of 27% said they use some sort of newfangled, 21st century invention, such as Tivo, facebook or Wii Fit.

About 84,000 people in their 100's live in the U.S., according to census figures - more than 4,070 of them in New York State.

And as new gadgets permeate society, they're gradually being utililized by the eldest generation.

'They are increasingly using technology." Leenay said of the 100-plus set. " They are connecting to pop culture."

Centenarians are so current that the person most survey respondents - 57% - said they want to have dinner withwill host the next episode of " Saturday Night Live."

That would be actress Betty White, who, after an online campaign, is set to become the oldest person to ever host the show - and she's a mere 88 years old.
