Abstract

Analyze the use of internet by the elderly population in Brazil. The methodology used will be through a qualitative study, through a bibliographic survey, verifying the bibliographic studies on the use of the internet at national level. The use of the internet is the most immediate when comparing it with other technologies, such as electricity, the car or even television, however, a group of people still proves little proximity to these technologies: The elderly. As an effect, we will demonstrate that there is an increase in the number of Internet use by this portion of the population, the elderly and with an increase forecast.
