不可能不注意到，今天推动老年人技术使用研究的许多问题与20年前老龄化和无障碍研究的前沿问题是相同的。当时，电脑主要是大型台式机，社交媒体仍在地平线上，移动的手机很大，但（还）不智能。老年人很少上网。如今，设备已经发生了变化，老年人越来越多地上网。（9，15）然而，它们在宽带使用、应用程序的广度和在线时间方面仍然落后。(12)典型的报告反映他们对社交媒体兴趣不大（除了与家人保持联系），对在线金融交易持怀疑态度。（十七）
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE not to notice that many of the questions driving research on technology use by older adults today are the same as those at the forefront of aging and accessibility research 20 years ago. Back then, computers were predominantly large desktops, social media was still on the horizon, and mobile phones were large and not (yet) smart. Older adults had little presence on the Internet. Today, devices have changed and older adults are increasingly online.(9,15) They do, however, continue to lag in broadband use, breadth of applications used, and time online.(12) Typical reports reflect they have little interest in social media (other than staying in touch with family) and are skeptical of online financial transactions.(17)
