Age and Technology Presentation

The document discusses how the ability to adapt to and learn new technology decreases with age. It presents four categories of people in relation to technology use and adoption: those who do not want to use technology, want to but cannot, need to but cannot, and can easily learn. The thesis is that as age increases, the ability to learn and utilize new technologies decreases. Prior research cited found that younger people performed better than older adults on spatial learning tests and that starting to learn a second language at a younger age leads to higher performance. The conclusion is that limited research indicates a correlation between age and ability to adapt to technology, and future research is needed.
