This special issue addresses two important defining features of today’s society: ageing
and digital technologies. In the 21st century, ageing has become one of the most
significant social transformations [27], as an increase in the ageing population is
changing much of the world and has become visibly real in many societies.
Population ageing is occurring in a digital world, wherein Information and
Communication Technologies (ICTs) are playing a pivotal role in multiple facets of
everyday life. Thus, it is timely to better understand how these technologies may
enrich ageing (and living) in the early 21st century, as well as to ask what we may
learn about our increasing dependency on ICTs, if looked at from the purview of age
and ageing.
The aim of this interdisciplinary special issue is to bring together a selection of
papers that contribute to the aforementioned goal. The editors of this special issue
come from three different areas: Human-Computer Interaction, Communication and
Media Studies, and Education. Despite the growing amount of research in these (and
other) areas on ageing and digital technologies, we argue that there is still much work
to do on the relationship between older people and ICTs. |
