Possible Hypotheses
To better arrange and facilitate the research, three possible hypotheses were generated concerning the topic of elderly people struggling to use technology. These hypotheses help maintain the focus of designing a concept that is inclusive and accessible to aging individuals, as well as supportive to their journey of understanding the current digital age. The possible hypotheses are stated as: If Felton’s Tech Squad could provide resources/deliverables that connect the aging community to their services, then these aging people within the community could use such services and bridge the digital gap.
If aging individuals were taught/shown how to use websites/online resources such as WebMD, Postmates, etc., then they would be able to utilize these resources to benefit their lives.
If caretakers and service providers were given effective resources on how to teach another person how to use certain technologies, then they could properly and effectively teach patients/aging individuals.
