Abstract: Our population is ageing very quickly. This increase is added to the rapid, exponential breakthrough of new technologies in our everyday lives. These two factors are generating great interest and many studies have been published on how information technology and communication simultaneously exist in ageing western societies. This paper analyses the main habits of use and consumption of new technologies by older people, in particular, the level of knowledge and their level of education.

“…It is estimated that by the year 2050, 32% of the Spanish population will consist of older people, which in the near future will turn Spain into one of the countries with a highest percentage of elderly population. This is due to an increased life expectancy as a consequence of advances in medicine, and further improvements in nutrition and education (González, Fanjul & Cabezuelo, 2015). All of this is aided by decreased childbirth rates, fundamentally marked by an economic crisis influencing the citizens' decision to have children (Abad, 2014: 173-180).…”

They can also share information, communicate with others and obtain the above mentioned information via social networks.…”

“…Některé kompetence senioři neznají nebo nepoužívají, což také ovlivnilo výsledné hodnocení.Naopak se ukázalo, že senioři, kteří se naučili používat technologie s pomocí rodiny, hodnotí své současné dovednosti lépe. Podpora ze strany rodinných příslušníků je tedy důležitým faktorem ovlivňujícím přístup seniorů k internetu a ICT, což naznačil i kvalitativní výzkum a upozorňují na to i některé zahraniční výzkumy, zkoumající práce seniorů s ICT(González-Oñate, 2015).
