THE IMPORTANCE OF USE OF TECHNOLOGY BY ELDERLY IN TERMS OF INTERGENERATIONAL COMMUNICATION AND SOCIAL IMPACT

Öz:
This article focuses on the use of technology in terms of intergenerational communicationand social impact. The theoretical approaches affecting the use of technology in intergenerationalcommunication have been examined and emphasized on the importance of social classes andgroups’ intergenerational communication. The effects of the use of technology on the elderlyhave been assessed within the context of social classes, groups, and generations. In additionto the rapidly evolving technology, the issue of ageism, which interferes with intergenerationalcommunication, is also mentioned in this review article. In this article, the emphasis wasput on the importance of formal and informal education on the use of technology in thestrengthening of intergenerational communication, with the result that technology facilitatesthe daily work of the elderly and strengthens their social communication, thus contributingsignificantly to intergenerational communication. The Global Class Theory, which underliehuman, emphasized that the classification of individuals should be based on human values andthat the elderly individual may exist in all areas of these classes. Increasing the qualitative andquantitative studies to be done in this field due to the importance of technology acceptanceand use and intergenerational communication on seniors will contribute to the literature.For future studies, qualitative and quantitative researches on the use of technology and theacceptance behaviors of the elderly are suggested in terms of intergenerational communicationand social impact.

KUŞAKLARARASI İLETİŞİM VE SOSYAL ETKİ AÇISINDAN YAŞLILARIN TEKNOLOJİ KULLANIMLARININ ÖNE

Öz:
Bu makalede kuşaklararası iletişim ve sosyal etki açısından teknoloji kullanımının önemi üzerinde durulmuştur. Kuşaklararası iletişimde teknoloji kullanımını etkileyen teorik yaklaşımlar incelenmiş, sosyal sınıflar ve grupların kuşaklararası iletişimdeki önemi vurgulanmıştır. Teknoloji kullanımının yaşlılar üzerindeki etkileri sosyal sınıflar, gruplar ve kuşaklararası iletişim kapsamında değerlendirilmiştir. Makalede hızla gelişen teknoloji ile birlikte kuşaklararası iletişime engel oluşturan yaş ayrımcılığı konusuna da yer verilmiştir. Tüm bu değerlendirmeler ışığında teknolojinin yaşlı bireylerin günlük işlerini kolaylaştırdığı ve sosyal iletişimlerini güçlendirdiği, böylece kuşaklararası iletişime önemli düzeyde katkı sağladığı sonuçlarına varılarak, kuşaklararası iletişimin güçlendirilmesinde teknoloji kullanımına ilişkin örgün ve yaygın eğitimin önemi vurgulanmıştır. Temelinde insan olan Global Sınıflar Teorisi ile bireylerin sınıflandırmasının insani değerler üzerine yapılması gerektiği, yaşlı bireyin de bu sınıfların her alanında var olabileceği vurgulanmıştır. Gelecek çalışmalar için kuşaklararası iletişim ve sosyal etki açısından yaşlı bireylerin teknoloji kabul ve kullanım davranışlarına yönelik nitel ve nicel araştırmaların yapılması önerilmektedir.
