This document summarizes a presentation about getting rural elderly residents online to stay connected and independent. It discusses why internet usage is important for the elderly population. Focus groups were conducted in rural Wisconsin to understand barriers and motivators for elderly internet adoption. Key findings include the importance of "high touch" training programs that provide hands-on support. Successful programs incorporate internet access into healthcare and offer low-cost options. Building on existing community organizations and utilizing human networks were seen as important for reaching and encouraging rural seniors to adopt internet technologies. The document then outlines technologies used to support aging in place and reviews best practices from rural and national programs that could be replicated.
In this wide-ranging new talk that was given as a part of Dartmouth College’s Strategic Planning process and their “Leading Voices in Higher Education Speaker Series http://strategicplanning.dartmouth.edu/aspire/leading-voices-in-higher-education-speaker-series, Amanda Lenhart talked about the technological milieu of today’s teens and college students as they grew from children to young adults and the ways in which each major new technological development disrupted our previous communication strategies. The talk also explored the ways that social media is changing campus culture as well as how digital tools are changing where learning happens – MOOCs and mixed classes, flipped classrooms – as well as how it occurs for K-12 as well as within higher education.

The road to recovery: bridging the digital divide Al Mathers
As Autumn sets in and many of us are now living with the impact of COVID-19, local lockdowns and social distancing as an ongoing reality, what does this mean for the UK and healthy ageing?
Digital inclusion will play an increasing critical role in the healthy ageing agenda, so what have we learnt about the challenges older people and organisations now face, is there a deepening the digital divide, and how can we work differently and collaboratively to ensure more older people can maximise the benefits of being part of a digital society to meet their personal needs?

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

11. Does the Research Ring True for
Rural Wisconsin?
We conducted 7 focus groups in Northcentral
Wisconsin with 75 adults (62% were female, 37%
were male and 62% identified themselves as seniors)
to learn about current usage, motivators and barriers
to senior adoption.
12. Lessons Learned:
• The perception on the number of users utilizing the internet varied based on reporter
background. Healthcare and benefit delivery systems report fewer seniors accessing
the internet. Those in volunteer capacity rare encountering seniors who are more tech
savvy.
• Participation of seniors utilizing technology appears to be higher in women than men.
• Adoption is often connected to age spectrum, those under 65 may have been exposed
to technology while employed making them more likely to adopt (with the type of
employment having a major influence).
• “Seniors are like bookends, you have extreme users, non-users and everything in-
between”
• Social Media as a means of staying connected to family and friends tops the list of
uses.
• The use of the internet for entertainment is becoming more popular (movies, games,
hobbies)
• Seniors are utilizing the internet for healthcare, research, banking, and shopping but in
far fewer numbers.
13. Obstacles and Barriers for Adoption:
• Lack of knowledge serves as a major barrier for adoption, this
includes everything from what is possible to the technology
itself.
• Fear of; identity theft, invasion of privacy, scams and learning
something new all serve as barriers for adoption.
• Costs of devices and service are a deterrent for many, some
simply can’t afford others need to see a cost benefit.
• Keeping up with the technology and maintenance is a major
concern.
• Access to internet whether in the home or convenient public
sites is a barrier.
• Lack of devices to accommodate physical limitations.
• Some simply have no desire.
14. Motivating Factors for Adoption:
• The number one motivator for adoption is keeping in contact with family
and friends.
• Life changing events such as medical needs can serve as triggers and
motivators.
• Cost benefit was evident; they could see financial savings.
• Increased access to information and education.
• Accessing services that would allow seniors to remain independent
(healthcare, shopping, benefits access, banking).
15. Best Way to Reach and Encourage Seniors to Adopt:
• An overall theme echoed by all groups included programs need to be “high
touch” as well as “high tech”, they required continual human contact and
support.
• Utilizing locations where seniors generally congregate is essential
(breakfast/coffee sites, churches, libraries, senior centers, grocery stores).
• Hands on demonstrations by peers, family members and youth are often less
threatening.
• Incorporating training as part of healthcare (rehab centers, OT, disease
control).
• Provide free of low cost options for devices and services.
• Community Organizations are a great way to reach seniors as they have
existing relationships and trust with members.
16. Body: Products that support monitoring and management of an older adult’s physiological status and
mental health for maintaining wellness and managing the chronic conditions
Home Environment: Products that support monitoring and maintaining the functional status of older
adults in their home environments
Community: Technologies that enable older adults to stay socially connected to their families, friends,
and local communities
Caregiving: Technologies and products that support both informal and formal caregivers in providing
timely and effective care and support to older adults and persons with disabilities in their homes
The final category in particular highlights how many technologies can be used both to empower older
adults in managing their own health and remaining independent while also enabling them to be
monitored
by either professional or informal caregivers.

adopted by seniors when a crisis or life changing events necessitates it, not often by choice.
• Innovations in Smart Home technologies are growing at a tremendous pace, although
adoption has been greater at group facilities than individual homes.
• Invasion of privacy and fear often prevent seniors from utilizing technology unless there is a
definite cost benefit.
• Caregiver technologies are often disease or institution connected.
• Constant changing platforms and upgrades in devices makes technology daunting for
seniors.
• Senior friendly home devices are rated annually by various organizations.
• Brands are not as important as features and ease of use with all technology.
