How older people actually inspire new tech | Alexander Peine | TEDxOpenUniversiteitHeerlen
Older people are seen as ‘laggard’ users that are late in adopting new technologies. Thus these technologies reduce older people to problems and deficits. But e.g. the use of e-bikes 15 years ago was associated with older people that required assistance with pedaling. Whereas now e-bikes have become a product popular among all age groups. This is a very important shift in perspective. Older people aren’t considered as patients and in terms of medical needs, but as ‘early adopters’ with capabilities and technical literacy that can teach us something. This new approach is very important for the digital transition in health care.
Alexander Peine is professor of culture, innovation and communication at Open Universiteit in The Netherlands. He is also the founding chair of the Socio-gerontechnology Network which brings together scholars from various backgrounds worldwide interested in critical studies of ageing and technology. And he is the vice-chair of the societal advisory board of the EU's Joint Programming Initiative 'More Years, Better Lives' (JPI-MYBL).
Alex’s research explores the many intersections between population ageing, including the challenges it allegedly poses for care and health systems, and technological change, including the push towards more interactive and 'smarter' technologies. His work has expanded the usual drive in this area to think of technologies as interventions with a unique line of research that thinks of ageing, care and health as being co-constituted with technology. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

If you want what you've never had, you have to do what you've never done.

Such a great speech! Very good observations and I also agree with so many points listed here. My Dad was in his 80-ties, and even with his mild dementia, he wanted to try new video technology, so that he could talk to his granddaughter who lives overseas. When it comes to technology for seniors, the simpler, the better! Thank you so much!
I am actually starting my Doctoral Research on Seniors and Cyber Vulnerabilities!

Because they're the only ones who can afford new technologies. Look at electric cars for example.
