Description
The use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is becoming pervasive in many societies around the world, rendering people who are less technologically savvy to be digitally excluded in an increasingly digitally-enabled world. One such group is the senior citizens who are among the least technologically savvy in many societies. This paper studies the use of ICT among senior citizens by leveraging Bourdieu’s Practice Theory. Implications are drawn from the results to discuss how various forms of Capitals and Disposition affect ICT use among senior citizens and what may be done to bring about greater digital inclusion for senior citizens.
