The March 2015 issue of NTEN Change, the journal of the Non-profit Technology Network, includes a story about a Canadian documentary: Cyber-Seniors. The interview with filmmakers Saffron Cassaday and Brenda Rusnak is worth a few minutes of time to read.
In fact, the entire March issue is devoted to the theme of “Digital Inclusion and Technical Divides: What’s Next?”
How do we deal with stimulating the demand side of digital adoption? To date, most government initiatives have stimulated supply, without looking at the how we increase digital literacy and targeted programs to improve access to devices.
“Cyber-Seniors” is a humorous and heartwarming documentary that adds to the important conversation about the generation gap.
