Den vanliga föreställningen att äldre generellt är teknikskeptiska utmanas i en ny avhandling. Tvärtom visar många äldre personer intresse, särskilt när tekniken upplevs som meningsfull, lätt att använda och relevant i vardagen. Men så väl yngre som äldre uttrycker oro för teknikens miljöpåverkan och kostnader. Det är inte åldern i sig som påverkar attityden till digital teknik, utan andra faktore
