Abstract
This study examines how older adults learn to use tablet computers. Learning to use new technologies can help older adults to be included in today's digital society. However, learning to use new technologies is not always easy, especially for older adults. This study focuses on how older adults learn to use a specific technology, tablet computers, and the role that social support plays in this process. Data for this project are from 21 in-depth interviews with individuals who own tablet computers. We examine how older adults engage with tablet devices and increase their digital literacy. The findings suggest that, for older adults to start to use tablets, social support plays an important role. In addition, a key way that many participants report gaining expertise with the technology is through "playing around" with the tablets. Suggestions for how to help older adults learn to use new technologies are detailed.
摘要
本研究探讨老年人如何学习使用平板电脑。学习使用新技术有助于老年人融入当今的数字社会。然而，学习使用新技术并非总是易事，尤其是对老年人来说。本研究聚焦于老年人如何学习使用一种特定技术——平板电脑，以及社会支持在这一过程中所起的作用。该项目的数据来自对21名拥有平板电脑的个人进行的深度访谈。我们研究老年人如何与平板电脑设备互动并提高他们的数字素养。研究结果表明，对老年人而言，要开始使用平板电脑，社会支持起着重要作用。此外，许多参与者报告称获得该技术专业知识的一个关键途径是通过摆弄平板电脑。文中详细阐述了关于如何帮助老年人学习使用新技术的建议。
