Abstract-People use weak passwords for a variety of reasons, the most prescient of these being memory load and inconvenience. The motivation to choose weak passwords is even more compelling on Smartphones because entering complex passwords is particularly time consuming and arduous on small devices. Many of the memory-and inconvenience-related issues can be ameliorated by using a password manager app. Such an app can generate, remember and automatically supply passwords to websites and other apps on the phone. Given this potential, it is unfortunate that these applications have not enjoyed widespread adoption. We carried out a study to find out why this was so, to investigate factors that impeded or encouraged password manager adoption. We found that a number of factors mediated during all three phases of adoption: searching, deciding and trialling. The study's findings will help us to market these tools more effectively in order to encourage future adoption of password managers.

“…A successful example of technology adoption is smartphone technology. A comprehensive literature review determined that contextual, sociological, techno-economic, psychological, personal and Aging-specific factors contributed towards the acceptance of smart phones [190]. Therefore, designers and developers of assistive technology systems have to draw high attention to elderly people's requirements and needs in order to accept the assistive technology systems.…”

While elderly people perform their daily indoor activities, they are subjected to several risks. To improve the quality of life of elderly people and promote healthy aging and independent living, elderly people need to be provided with an assistive technology platform to rely on during their activities. We reviewed the literature and identified the major indoor risks addressed by assistive technology that elderly people face during their indoor activities. In this paper, we identify these risks as: fall, wrong self-medication management, fire, burns, intoxication by gas/smoke, and the risk of inactivity. In addition, we discuss the existing assistive technology systems and classify the risk detection algorithms, techniques and the basic system principles and interventions to enhance safety of elderly people.

“…Habits are changing and mobile devices are nowadays used more and more to access social media (PhoCusWright 2015). One consumer segment, which is becoming very relevant, is the socalled young-elderly (aged 60-75) segment (Allmér & Råberg, 2013;Carlsson Walden, Vogel & Merne, 2014;Nikou, 2015). Population ageing is faced by most developed countries.…”

The population is rapidly ageing in many developed countries. However, little research has been conducted to better understand older individuals' use of the Internet and social media for travel purposes. This qualitative study focuses on identifying young-elderly (aged 60-75) travellers as disinclined, opportunistic and 2.0 users of social media and on exploring possible enablers and barriers to their use. Fourteen individuals were interviewed, and the results suggest a quite clear divide in how actively social media is used by the informants. Seven informants were categorized as disinclined, six as opportunistic and one as a 2.0 user. There also seem to be heterogeneous perceptions of social media for travel purposesseveral possible enablers and barriers were found among the informants to consulting online reviews and blogs for travel planning and to sharing travel experiences online.Keywords: Social media, tourism, older individuals, technology adoption and use, consumer behaviour. ResumoA população está envelhecendo rapidamente em muitos países desenvolvidos. No entanto, poucas pesquisas têm sido conduzidas para entender melhor o uso da Internet e dos mídias sociais pelos idosos para fins de viagem. Este estudo qualitativo centra-se na identificação de jovens idosos (60-75 anos) viajantes como utilizadores desinteressados, utilizadores oportunistas ou utilizadores 2.0 de mídias sociais, e na exploração de possíveis facilitadores e barreiras para o seu uso. Catorze indivíduos foram entrevistados, e os resultados sugerem uma clara divisão em como os mídias sociais são ativamente usados pelos informantes. Sete informantes foram categorizados como desinteressados, seis como oportunistas e um como usuário 2.0. Parece haver também perceções heterogéneas dos mídias sociais para fins de viagem -vários possíveis facilitadores e barreiras foram encontrados entre os informantes para consultar revisões on-line e blogs para planeamento de viagens e para compartilhar experiências de viagens on-line. Palavras-chave:Mídias sociais, turismo, idosos, adoção e uso da tecnologia, comportamento do consumidor.
