Description

Book Synopsis

Uncovers the diverse and unexpected ways aging populations engage with technology.

As digital technologies further embed themselves in everyday life, how do older adults navigate and adapt to these tools? Digital Repertoires introduces the concept of the "digital repertoire" to investigate the evolving ways older people engage with technology across cultural and social contexts. Based on global research, this work confronts typical stereotypes of aging and digital exclusion and emphasizes the agency, creativity, and new challenges older adults experience in their digital interactions.

Including voices of scholars from anthropology, sociology, gerontology, communication studies, and design, this book offers theoretical depth as well as empirical breadth, making it essential reading for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers working at the intersection of aging and technology.
