摘要
Technology use in old age is influenced by a variety of factors such as technology generation, education, socioeconomic status, cognitive abilities and attitudes. Furthermore, motivation to use technology in later life is an important issue for a better understanding of technology acceptance. A prevalent approach to explain technology use is the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Limitations of TAM appear when transferring earlier results to old age, as shown in the short review of the literature. An extended TAM version with health and psychological needs and motivation strategies is presented.
