The world is changing at a very fast pace

Closing the gap between young adult and older adult usage of the internet can help not only the consumer, but, also companies.Older adults help us learn the complexity of browsing the web and how we can not only make 65+ year old adults lives easier. We can give a better user experience for all users of all ages. Slower clicks can promote healthier tech lifestyles in the younger generation whilst breaking the technological barrier for older adults

Feelings older adults experience while web browsing:

• frustration
• confusion
• loss of opportunity to gain experience and learn
• overwhelmed

Vaportzis et al., Friedman et al., & Tajudeen et al.

Fine motor control and dexterity

"According to Ofcom (2014b), tablets helped to drive overall internet use in adults over 65 from 33% in 2012 to 42% in 2013. Older adults may prefer tablet technology due to the portability and usability they provide vs. computer technology (e.g., adjustable font or icon size), especially to those who have a wide range of motor and visual abilities (Chan et al., 2016)" (Vaportzis et al).

• Common Impairments cause physical and cognitive limitations
• impaired vision
• hear ing loss
• decreased motor skills
• memory loss (issues with recall)

Digitial Literacy

How much do older adults know?

According to a study by Tajudeen et al. , older adults mostly use social networking, news, and shopping applications compared to other apps. They don't struggle much using those apps, however they have difficulty using m-commerce transactions like financial applications and software. Learning and understanding how to use banking apps can be complex compared to going to a bank in person.
