According to a 2018 Eurostat study, 87 percent of people in Europe who are aged 75 years and over have never been online. This is partly because most current technology is designed in a way that relies on users’ ability to see, hear, and read. But many elderly are struggling to do so due to their age and health conditions.

Another study conducted by Pew Research showed that 23% of elderly people in US have a “physical or health condition that makes reading difficult or challenging.” Meanwhile, 29% said they suffer from “disability, handicap, or chronic disease that prevents them from fully participating in many common daily activities.”

The same study suggested that seniors would need assistance to learn to use social media or tech devices. Only 18% of seniors expressed that they’re comfortable with learning how to use a new technology device, and 77% said that they would rely on someone else helping them.

Among many reasons why seniors are less likely to learn to use technology are reduced mobility and reactivity. Some elders are less likely to absorb new knowledge since they never got accustomed to technology throughout their lives, so this is truly an uncharted and very challenging terrain for them. Others struggle with touch screens due to hardened hand skin, poor eyesight, and reduced reaction.

At the end of the day, everyone is responsible for being more accepting towards seniors using technology, even if it sometimes means you should overlook their not-always-perfect attempts to master it.

How My Mom Shops Online

Final score:

30points

POST

David K 3 years ago

I don´t find this strange at all. Many people, especially the elderly, are not familiar with the concept of e-shop payments and they are worried that they could do something wrong (incorrect payment, incorrect place to deliver etc.), so they rather ask their relatives to help out. Also the pandemic keeps the shops closed in many countries, so the online shopping is the only alternative for several items, meaning that the internet illiterate people don´t have much options how to buy their gifts elsewhere.

A common saying in real estate. But you have to think about it from a design perspective - when the linoleum went in, the wood was starting to age out of the trends of the time it was installed. So it probably just looked dated to have hardwood, and linoleum was the new thing. People will make fun of millennials for all the laminate and vinyl plank flooring and that ugly kitchen backsplash with the mini subway tiles. That uglyass farmhouse chic / Chip and Joanna style is going to look really stupid to normal people in a few years. All those sliding barn doors are gonna end up on Facebook marketplace lol
