Abstract

The senior citizens are the group which often faces difficulties in the later phases of lifespan. The statistics states that about 95 million people in India are above the age of 60. By the year 2025 there would be almost 80 million more old age mass. The changing family values, economic compulsions of their children, abuse and neglect have caused the elders to come through the net of family concern. So there has been a hike in the old age home in India. This research primarily focused the senior citizens using modern technologies which can help them actively participate in the modern world without any problem. The primary objective of the paper is to know the issues of usage of ICT enabled appliances for senior citizens and widely distributing the computer literacy in this group. The paper focuses on the ICT equipped home for old ages which can bring new excitement of living in senior citizens.
