The present pilot study, conducted on 624 respondents aged over 60, analyses the possession, frequency and “comfort” in the use of digital technologies, focusing in particular on the motivational and relational variables and the actual skills and “digital literacy” of this group of “elderly”. The analysis of the data shows a significant correlation (inversely proportional) between the “age” variable and the possession, use and “comfort” in using devices. In addition, it emerges 1) a significantly low level of use of digital technologies; 2) even lower levels of “comfort” in using them, which suggests a low level of digital literacy; 3) a tendency to use the opportunities of the digital world in a passive way, and above all 4) a low level of motivation to change one’s behaviour on these aspects. All these indications contrast with the more immediate prospects of implementing the developments of the so-called “Industry 4.0” to the elderly population.

Abstract
The present pilot study, conducted on 624 respondents aged over 60, analyses the possession, frequency and “comfort” in the use of digital technologies, focusing in particular on the motivational and relational variables and the actual skills and “digital literacy” of this group of “elderly”. The analysis of the data shows a significant correlation (inversely proportional) between the “age” variable and the possession, use and “comfort” in using devices. In addition, it emerges 1) a significantly low level of use of digital technologies; 2) even lower levels of “comfort” in using them, which suggests a low level of digital literacy; 3) a tendency to use the opportunities of the digital world in a passive way, and above all 4) a low level of motivation to change one’s behaviour on these aspects. All these indications contrast with the more immediate prospects of implementing the developments of the so-called “Industry 4.0” to the elderly population.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
