Minocha, Shailey (2015). A case study-based investigation of experiences of people aged 65 years and over with online social interactions.

Abstract

Taking the example of an online photo journal which encourages users to document their life with just one photo each day, I will discuss how online social interactions influence the lives of people aged over 65 years, the challenges that they face, and the concerns that they have about being online.
