The findings from the current study also
show that older persons are able to study and to
use computers if a good training program exists
that encourages them to do so. On the other
hand, it cannot be dismissed that those who
chose to participate and to study computer use
may have done so because they had a stronger
prior desire and/or ability to engage in this
particular undertaking. It might be that the
elderly information technology participants had
a positive approach to the computer, a priori,
and perhaps a better capability for learning new
things as well.
