Aging is a natural process that affects the well-being of every person some
way. Presently the aging of world population is widely spreading as a problem
in terms of demanding health care, social security and family support. It has
become necessary to understand the gravity of this impending social problem
and to create appropriate awareness among all sectors that related to aging
care services.
We can understand that many among the elderly persons have faced problem of
walking, and hearing difficulties with verbal and communicating, loss of memory, and
poor in physical and mental health. But they need to continue their life independently
and comfortably. According to the modern world technology is a powerful tool
for achieving this goal. Every day there are new products and services being
created for all sort of people in the world. Yet, we have identified and used
very limited number of electronic or non-electronic devices and services for
aging care. It is obvious that technology and services are beginning to play
significant role in helping older persons remain their own home longer.
This seminar paper will focus on how old people living with technology, their
responses and satisfaction with them. |
