Across the life course, new forms of community, ways of keeping in
contact, and practices for engaging in work, healthcare, retail,
learning and leisure are evolving rapidly. Breaking new ground in the
study of technology and aging, this book examines how developments in
smart phones, the internet, cloud computing, and online social
networking are redefining experiences and expectations around growing
older in the twenty-first century. Drawing on contributions from leading
commentators and researchers across the world, this book explores key
themes such as caregiving, the use of social media, robotics, chronic
disease and dementia management, gaming, migration, and data
inheritance, to name a few.
