Bob Lee, David Groves

Abstract
Technology is advancing very rapidly. There is still a great gap between older and young users regarding their abilities to use the technology and adapt it into their daily activities. The purpose of this article was to develop a framework to rethink the impacts of technology to daily lives of older adults and how it may improve the quality of their lives, especially as it relates to leisure and travel.
