Information processing technology and aging
An important factor to be considered with old age is cognitive decline. Thus information processing technologies need to be centered on factors that define cognition. This article highlights some of the important conceptual models and theories that govern design of such systems. The main focus is to look at the different information processing technologies that are presently used for enabling better functional performance.
As the nation’s baby boomers grow older, there exists a growing demand for a good support system that can ease their burden. Technology is ubiquitous in most social contexts in the United States and other industrialized countries and has become an important part of everyday life as an integral component of most activities. The advent of technology has shown promising results in various fields such as the delivery of care and in-vehicle driving technology by focusing on the needs of older adults and placing them at the center of this transformation. Such systems would work in favor of improving and empowering not just the elderly but also their families while reducing some of the burden on them and increasing independence. Yet there continues to exist a digital divide amongst the elderly population with less use of technology causing them to become disenfranchised and disadvantaged.
== Elderly and Technology ==

Although older adults are increasingly using technology, a number of published papers indicate that they typically have more difficulty than younger adults’ in learning to use and operate them. The successful adoption of technology is becoming increasingly important for functional independence and the requirement to use new technologies is becoming pervasive in the lives of adults both young and old. Older adults are now more than ever faced with a wide range of new technologies on a daily basis. Thus an important task in the field of gerontology is to develop training tools that can aid and improve accessibility for older adults. What makes this complex is the need for creating age-specific tools that match the cognitive and perceptual capabilities of the age group.
