ABSTRACT
Many societies are aging, while Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) use is increasingly being required by governments and workplaces. However, little is known about ICT use by older adults. This research-in-progress paper outlines a case study methodology which seeks to examine the domestication of ICTs by older adults in their everyday lives. Preliminary results suggest that work is an important context that influences ICT introduction, use, and meanings.
