Writings in Gerontology (17) Seniors and Technology September 2001 National Advisory Council on Aging

NACA recently released Seniors and Technology in its "Writings in Gerontology" series. The publication presents the result of surveys and research on the use of technology by seniors as well as the perspective of seniors on the place of technology in everyday life. What are the benefits and pitfalls of these technologies? Are seniors reluctant to use them? Are industry and government paying attention to the particular needs of seniors? Seniors and Technology explores the issues and suggests steps to reduce the "digital divide" and ensure that seniors reap all the benefits that technology offers.
