This web seminar is based on the 2017 Aging in America Conference (AiA) workshop, “Mobile Technology and Aging How Seniors Are Keeping Up and Connecting.”

Many stereotypes exist about older adults’ use of technology (or lack thereof). Our longitudinal research over the past five years shows how the aging population is effectively using technology (computers, smartphones, apps, and social media) to stay connected to issues, peers and family. By using our Porter Novelli Styles survey, we can identify trends, behaviors and make predictions about the future of elders’ technology use.

Participants in this web seminar will be able to:

  • Learn how older adults use technology in their daily lives;
  • Quantify technology trends and make predictions about the future of older adults’ technology use; and,
  • Evaluate differences between generational cohorts (60s, 70s, 80s) in attitudes and behaviors.
