A case study on the use of mobile technologies by older people
illustrates the issues involved in learning how to use new systems.
In this case study 13 older people over 65, with a mean age of 68,
participated, seven females and six males. Five of them (two males,
three females) were experienced and competent users, using computers and being on the internet daily or several times a week, and
using a computer for a variety of activities. Two of them also used a
smart phone with internet access. Three other participants (two
males, one female) may be classified as intermediate users, they
used a computer occasionally and for limited purposes, such as
email (this spelling is used in the rest of the paper, else it should
be change into e-mail everywhere), they needed support from family to do new things with their computers or if they had problems
with it. They had only a basic mobile phone. The other five participants (two male, three female) did not use a computer at all and
did not have a smart phone.
