Introduction

With an increasing population within the aging communities (60 years old and older), many of them are beginning to use digital and technological resources. Over the last decade, the world has seen a significant increase in the use of computers and the Internet in aging communities. Between the ages of 65 and 74, 56% within that range have internet access (Xavier, et al., 2014).

The digital world continues to assist the aging with their daily lives with resources such as Email, Video Conferences, and browsing sites. However, the connection between aging communities and the digital world can be confusing and difficult to most. Thus, digital literacy is a hard skill to acquire for those who are being left in this rapid era of technology. Institutions, such as Felton, are there to support these individuals who struggle with understanding the new age of technology.
