Abstract:
This study investigates technology usage patterns, learning interests, and self-directed learning attitudes among elderly individuals. Through a survey administered to 61 elderly participants, we analyzed responses regarding their frequency of technology use, interest in learning digital devices, and personal views on self-directed learning. Findings reveal high engagement levels with technology and a strong inclination toward learning new technological skills for healthcare. These insights suggest an evolving readiness in the elderly demographic to integrate technology into daily life, underscoring the need for accessible and senior-friendly digital literacy programs.
