The rapid expansion of social networking use could isolate the elderly and fuel social unrest, as those not online become viewed as "suspicious," warns a British official report.

The report commissioned by the government's chief scientist, said people who refuse to participate in social networks such as Facebook and Twitter could find themselves marginalised as the majority increasingly express their identity online.

It concluded that over the next decade, a person's traditional "identity" would undergo "increasingly dynamic or volatile" changes, the Telegraph reported.

The 71-page report was based on 20 separate reviews of a range of areas affected by identity including social inclusion and mobility, education and skills, crime and mental health.
