Résumé
Impact of technology on successful aging N. Charness and K. Warner Schaie (eds) . New York : Springer , 2003 . ISBN 0-826-12403-8 (hard cover). $A83.60 . This text examines the impact of various forms of technology on individuals as they age. It thoroughly explores both the opportunities and limitations of technology on various aspects of successful ageing. This is fundamentally an academic text, which nevertheless remains accessible and offers a wealth of valuable information on this important topic. As one contributor identifies, technology and ageing is an ‘en vogue’ topic. With the ageing of our populations, the promise of improved quality of life through technology is tantalizing indeed. As technology impacts further on our daily lives, the marginalisation of older people because of limited access is increasingly concerning. Clearly, this is an important area of research. This text, one of a series on the societal impact on ageing, thoroughly explores the available evidence on given topics, while posing new questions and outlining new findings. Its contributors are well-credentialed and each chapter is followed by commentaries from experts in the same and neighbouring disciplines. This approach ensures that each topic is examined from a number of perspectives and that points raised are thoroughly critiqued. The main topics include: design, useability and ageing; the impact of the Internet; everyday technology in the home; and assistive technology. The book's emphasis on the cultural context of technology and ageing, and on what it calls the ‘person–environment fit’, helps to ensure that everyday realities are foremost. Students and theorists in the field should find this book's thorough analysis of the given topics and comprehensive author and subject indexes very useful. It is structured and presented very clearly, with short, clearly-headed sections and good use of graphics. Despite its academic tone, this book remains readable and engaging. It therefore has much to offer to those of us seeking practical information that may promote older people's use of technology to access information, services and products. Service providers and practitioners, and even designers and marketers of technological products, can glean information about older people's technology-related needs. We learn, for example, that older people generally use technology more successfully when given appropriate hands-on training and when they understand the benefits that such technology can offer. We also learn that the use of a large font, contrasting background and backlighting of keys can compensate for age-related visual deficits. Examples of assistive technologies such as verbal prompting devices to aid people with cognitive impairment are given and analysed. Information on other print and web-based resources on technology and ageing is also given, although somewhat buried within the text. Australian readers will struggle with some of the book's American phrasing and terms. Content is generally limited to US, Canadian and European research and analysis. While broad consideration is given to cultural contexts, the impact of technology on specific minority cultures is not well covered, particularly issues of language differences. Given the speed at which technology has affected our lives in recent decades, it is both exciting and daunting to imagine what the future may hold as we all age. Books such as this can enhance our understanding and help to ensure that the benefits of technology are maximised and the problems minimised.
