Being old in an always-on culture: Older people's perceptions and experiences of online communication
通过深度定性研究，探讨老年人对在线沟通的感知和实际体验，发现社交联系强的老年人比社交孤立的老年人更能从在线沟通中受益。
Research on the digital divide has moved beyond connectivity to skills and usage disparities. Yet for many older people lack of connectivity remains a challenge, and for those who do have access, skills and usage remain an issue. We report findings of an in-depth qualitative study of older people's perceptions of online communications and also their actual experiences. Findings indicate that older people who are already socially well connected benefit from online communication more than those who are not.
