Tech Savvy Seniors

Although we live in the digital age, many older Australians are left behind and we do not have the skills to use connections. Telstra will work with the government to provide seniors, especially the elderly in New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia, the opportunity to cultivate skills and confidence in the use of technology.

Through our partnership, we can offer free or low cost training to thousands of Australian elderly people.

Often stylized as "not familiar with technology", elderly people adopt new technology. Everything from smartphones to social media is rapidly growing. Many elderly people use social media to keep in touch with their families. Other people read online content and keep the latest news events current. The adoption of technology in this market is traditionally slow, but the data clearly shows that this trend is shifting to the elderly and technology. Elderly people tend to feel isolated. As geography separates friends from their families, new technologies, smartphones, and social networking sites will help reduce the geographic disparity between the elderly. In 2016, about 35% of elderly people were participating in Facebook and LinkedIn's social media network. This number has increased from 27% in 2013

Digital technology can bring great benefit to the elderly. Some medical institutions such as Courville recognized the desire of residents to be more technically savvy and to provide guidance on the use of high speed wireless Internet services and digital devices such as smart phones and tablets and access to social media sites It is. Digital technology helps elderly people, their friends, and families more intimate.
