Digital Divide (age)

The document discusses the digital divide between younger and older generations in their use of technology. Younger generations have an easier time using and learning technology due to factors like confidence with education and experience, a desire to learn new things, and being accustomed to multi-tasking and instant gratification. For older generations, technology is foreign, and they may feel fear of the unknown or lack an interest in technology. Statistics show that while computer use among those over 65 has increased 47% from 2000 to 2004, only 20% of older adults went online in 2003 compared to 65% of younger adults.
