This journal article has been referenced to from the book:"Designing for older adults" by Fisk A. et al. I think this paper is very interesting since it sheds light on the reasons why older people don't use new technology. "That is, when asking the question of why older adults may not use a particular type of technology, the answer is not because the costs are too high; the answer is because the benefits of that technology are not apparent to the older adults."
