The main objective of the paper was to present a preliminary study of ICT and social media from the viewpoint of elderly people. In other words, what elderly people think of ICT and how they utilise it in their everyday life. Twelve persons were interviewed either in their home environment or in a Senior Day Care Centre where they socialised and participated in hobbies or just had lunch together. Due to the small amount of interviewees the interpretations are only suggestive.
