Digital Citizenship
Digital Citizenship
The Internet and digital technologies are an integral part of modern life, so using them is an important aspect of seniors' social participation. Helping seniors become competent, safe and confident becomes a key goal of organisations to provide education for the older citizens.
Everyone who uses the internet and technology is a digital citizen. Digital citizens engage in all aspects of society, from politics to e-commerce to social media connectivity.
ICT can enable active ageing, facilitating access to information and healthcare, public services and culture, and many other aspects of everyday life.
Digital citizenship is an ever-evolving norm for the appropriate, responsible and legitimate use of technology. Also note that the virtual world is just an extension of the real world, so social behaviour must remain the same.
A senior digital citizen has the skills to use technology and the internet in a responsible, ethical and legal, sustainable and safe way.
