However, the reality is that older people do not conform to the ageist stereotypes that evidence suggests many people hold. In fact, they are willing to accept novel digital technologies into their lives. The issues that arise with acceptance do so because the ways in which older people construct their decision to use or not use these technologies are fundamentally different to the ways younger adults do. Wilkowska et al. [35] studied the acceptability of a personal digital assistant and, through this process, found that older adults acceptance of technology is a complex process but that the key difference between them and younger users was that the older adult was more likely to perceive the device as not being useful and being afraid of failure when using the device more than the younger users involved in the study. When these issues were addressed, the older adults readily engaged with the new technologies.
