Remember a time when age and experience indicated wisdom and gained respect and requests for knowledge to be shared?
Those times are long gone, of course, and today’s senior citizens may feel displaced and ‘left behind’ – especially by technology, apps and other IT software...
Golden days or techno ‘daze’?
Which IT-related products, services, processes, environments and other aspects are of most concern to the ‘digitally left behind’?
And how can organisations like the BCS help to make IT good for an ageing society?
What do You think?
Come to this informal afternoon event to share your views.
=============================================
