The Oldest Facebook User
105-year-old Maria Colunia Segura-Metzgar has recently been crowned the world's oldest Facebook user. Mark Zuckerberg likely never imagined that his brainchild, Facebook, which began as a network for college students, would not only become a commercial success but also break several remarkable records.
A Reluctant Participant
Initially, Maria was hesitant to join Facebook, despite her grandson Anthony Segura's persistent pleas. When she turned 101, she reluctantly agreed to register but only on the condition that she waited until she was 104.
A Social Hub
Despite the incorrect age of 102 listed on her profile, Maria has actively used Facebook to stay connected with her extended family, including her 40 grandchildren. Her sharp mind and love for storytelling make her an engaging user.
Media Attention and Fanfare
When news of Maria's Facebook record hit the headlines, friend requests flooded her profile, prompting Anthony to take over the management of her account. Previously, 101-year-old Florence Detlor held the record for the oldest Facebook user, and she was even invited to Palo Alto for a special tour of the Facebook campus.
Longevity and Legacy
Now, the title belongs to Maria Segura-Metzgar, who continues to break records with her presence on Facebook at such an advanced age. It remains to be seen what accolades or rewards the social media giant may bestow upon its newest elderly standout.
A Birthday to Remember
On her 105th birthday, Maria's Facebook page was filled with well wishes and congratulations from her family. Pictures of her festive celebration, including a decorated cake and a beaming Maria raising a glass, adorned her profile.
