Smith, David B. D., Czaja, Sara J., Clark, M. Cherie, Haber, Paul and Harootyan, Robert (1987): Aging and Technological Innovation. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 694-695.

Technology advances coupled with the certainty of an aging population has stimulated recent interest in the interface of technology and the older individual (Technology&Aging, 1985; Aging&Technological Advances, 1984). The U.S. population over 65 is expected to steadily increase into the first part of the next century and then rapidly grow to 20% or more by the year 2030. The course of technological advancement over this time frame is less certain but for the environment of the older person it likely involves changes in job requirements, training needs, equipment interface design and the availability of new assessment, assistance and supportive devices. This session will consider the implications of technological innovation for an elderly population in three areas: daily living tasks, health care, and work.
