520 _aThis book provides a thorough investigation of the potential and challenges of older individuals' digital disparities in the context of the digital era. A particular set of challenges prevent the ageing population from efficiently accessing and utilising digital resources as technology becomes more pervasive in contemporary culture. The multidimensional nature of digital disparities is clarified in this work. It explores how these discrepancies affect older people's quality of life, access to healthcare, social connections, and general well-being, taking India as a case study. The book begins by thoroughly summarising demographic trends and changes in technology adoption caused by ageing. It looks at the variables that affect older individuals' propensity to use technology and the effects of their attitudes and perceptions about digital technologies around them. The author investigates the intricate web of access inequities older persons face in a quickly changing digital environment, from internet accessibility to the availability of appropriate digital content. The book also emphasises the need for digital literacy and skills to boost elders' technology involvement. It looks at their challenges when learning and using digital skills, especially in light of how quickly technology develops. The author also explores the effects of digital disparities on older people's physical and mental health, highlighting the demand for specialised therapies and support networks. Dr Munmun Ghosh is an Associate Professor at Symbiosis Institute of Media and Communication, Symbiosis International University, Pune, India. Her research interests involve integrating technology into society, most notably researching how people use digital media to configure themselves and their social relations.
