Computer and the Internet in E-Seniors’ life – a Qualitative Research Report
Abstract
The present survey aimed to collect seniors’ opinions about their computer and Internet use and
compare these opinions with the data from previous studies. Using Focus Group Interview method,
17 people have been surveyed (average age 67.5 years). Empirical analysis of the material
collected helped single out a few categories, which participants’ opinions referred to. These opinions
related to: seniors’ attitude towards computers and the Internet, the process of acquiring
computer skills, reasons for use and benefi ts connected with a computer and the Internet, and
fi nally the role of new technologies in younger generation’s life. The results of the analyses increase
knowledge about the role of new technologies in seniors’ life. Our fi ndings can serve as useful
recommendations for authors of programmes supporting the digital inclusion of the elderly.
