To what extent are age differences in technology use a product of age effects or cohort effects? Put another way, might processes of cohort succession and cohort change diminish if not eradicate age differences in the future or will processes accompanying of age differences?
On teh one hand, it is reasonable to conclude that some portion of observed age differences in technology use is due to the operation of cohort effects. One of the most importatnt factors in how attitudes shape technology use is experience. In school and workplace setings , as well as at home, bpoth young and middle-age persons have had much greater exposure to information technology than current cohorts of older persons. The proliferation of cell phones and familiarity with automated systems such ATMs among young and middle-age persons likely means that these and related skills will be brought with them to their later years. Furtkermore, adoptiong and using new technology, especially education and income. The future cohorts of older persons will have higer levels of educational attainment and perhaps greater levels of economic security also suggests that age differences may diminish in coming yeras.
On the other hand , certain forms of technology use are associated with chronic conditions, and it's seems unlikely that age differences in chronic illnesses taht cell for the use of assistive devices will disappear. The use of medical technology in home care and in nursing home settings will likely continue to be realeted to age. Then, too, if the types of cognitive, sensory and motor changes that human factors researches have been interested in persist , these may lead to the continuation og age gradients . Additional features that are typiccaly part of revised or new versions of technology can often add to their complexity.Until the objectives embodied in transgenerational an universal design are realized, changes that accompany normal aging may work against adoption and use of tomorrow's new or enhanced, but more complicates, technologies just as these changes have worked against use of today's technologies by older people.
