The Internet, social networks, digital media and smart devices have transformed many aspects of people’s private, professional and social lives in a relatively short period of time. Older people are at greater risk of digital exclusion: they largely lack the digital skills needed to be able to participate fully in civic and social life. Becoming digitally literate can help address this social challenge. Ensuring that older people have the opportunity to actively participate in society is very important to make our societies more inclusive.
