, The role of technology in successful ageing



1.1 Introduction



According to research, older adults prefer to go through the ageing process at home
(Bryant, 2017). This has several affects on how adults experience and go through the

loneliness and have poor access to essential services. Through the years, technology
has become an increasingly bigger part of everyday life. Not only is it used to improve
working processes but also to enhance connectedness and make access to certain
services more convenient. From this, it can be argued that technology can play a role in
