Abstract :
For older individuals, the experience of loneliness can lead to mental health conditions including depression. In addition, older adults who do not stimulate their cognitive memoriescan lead to Alzheimers Syndrome and other memory loss conditions. Surprisingly, there is anincrease of older adults using the Internet for communications. However, there are still somechallenges older adults face with technology. Aged people may have a fixed income or dependon Social Security or Disability support; this creates problems as computers can be expensiveto purchase. In addition, older adults may have difficulties with using the computer, as far as using the hardware or software components. Software obstacles include: small text size,complex menus options, and high level of stimulation from animated software components.This can also include the use of the Internet and the World Wide Web. This research will studythe interactions between older adults and their use of mainstream technologies.
