“…Research in rural parts of Australia, the US, and Canada, has shown substantial disadvantage accessing the internet by communities with larger proportions of minorities, such as people from different migrant and language backgrounds or Indigenous people [10]. This finding is supported by other studies [3] that showed that one component of the digital divide, access, and ownership of technology, is not a major issue. However, the second component of the digital divide, the skills, and experience to use the technology, has the potential to exclude access by older people.…”

“…In a research project, respondents were asked why they did not want to learn how to use the internet. Results showed that nearly half reported a lack of interest, others reported time and/or insufficient technical skills [3]. Only a small number (4%) reported concerns about online security including identity theft.…”

“…In a telephone survey of internet use by older people, the most common reasons for using the internet were seeking information, sending and receiving e-mails, online shopping, travel reservations, work-related purposes, online banking and reading newspapers, magazines or books. Over one-third of respondents had taught themselves to use the Internet, a quarter had learned through their respective employment, 25% had learned via a friend or relative, and a small number had attended a class [3]. Technologies used to alleviate loneliness, and social isolation includes robotics, telecare, 3D environments, video games, chat rooms and social media [9].…”

“…Social media has been used by organizations more traditionally to engage younger users with the assumption that users have a good level of digital and social media literacy. There is little research that examines the adoption of social media in the aged care sector including the level of digital and social media literacy for older users [3].…”

Abstract-The aged care sector has been a late adopter of social media platforms for communicating, collaborating, marketing and creating brand awareness, and particularly there is little research that examines the adoption of social media by aged care service providers for these purposes. This research is to review the status of social media adoption in the Australian aged care industry, to understand in what ways social media can serve older people's needs, and to develop recommendations for aged-care service providers to adopt social media applications to empower older people. Through review of the literature and interviews with Australian experts, this research provides a three-phase framework. The first phase is to adopt major public social media platforms, Facebook followed by Instagram and Twitter. The second phase should encourage posts and feedback by locally hosted member forums. The third phase should include specialised social applications for closed groups and specific functions. The paper finally discusses implications of the proposed guidelines and proposes directions for future research

“…Modern technologies may pose barriers to older people's participation in daily life as noted by Marston et al, 45 who explored the use of technology by adults aged 65þ years living in one of three countries (Germany, Australia and Spain). Whilst, Genoe et al 46 explored how technology is used on a daily basis and from the standpoint of leisure residing in rural and urban locations across the UK and Canada.…”

The World Health Organization (WHO) strives to assist and inspire cities to become more ‘age-friendly’ through the Global Age-Friendly Cities Guide. An age-friendly city offers a supportive environment that enables residents to grow older actively within their families, neighbourhoods and civil society, and offers extensive opportunities for their participation in the community. In the attempts to make cities age-friendly, ageism may interact with these developments. The goal of this study was to investigate the extent to which features of age-friendly cities, both facilitators and hindrances, are visible in the city scape of the Dutch municipalities of The Hague and Zoetermeer and whether or not ageism is manifested explicitly or implicitly. A qualitative photoproduction study based on the Checklist of Essential Features of Age-Friendly Cities was conducted in five neighbourhoods. Both municipalities have a large number of visual age-friendly features, which are manifested in five domains of the WHO model, namely Communication and information; Housing; Transportation; Community support and health services; and Outdoor spaces and buildings. Age-stereotypes, both positive and negative, can be observed in the domain of Communication and information, especially in the depiction of third agers as winners. At the same time, older people and age-friendly features are very visible in the cityscapes of both municipalities, and this is a positive expression of the changing demographics.
