Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to present up-to-date knowledge on elderly people’s use of Information Communication Technology (ICT), online social networks, and eventual positive effects of advanced technology on the quality of life of elderly people. The chapter is based on two previous literature reviews and a new integrated literature review focusing on three main criteria: use of ICT, attitudes of elderly people toward ICT, and benefits of and barriers to the use of ICT. A comparison of the literature reviews shows the level of currently known facts about computer use among the elderly and presents the necessary steps for future research on how to increase the computer engagement of elderly people toward a better quality of life.
