The document discusses the digital divide between older and younger generations regarding technology use. Younger generations are more comfortable with technology due to growing up with it, while it remains foreign to many older adults. The study found computer use among older adults increased 47% from 2000-2004, but only 20% of older adults went online in 2003 compared to 65% of younger adults. Barriers to technology use among older adults included lack of confidence, education, and interest in learning new skills, as well as fear of the unknown.
