ABSTRACT
The adoption of digital media for supporting social interaction among family members has caused a misalignment between the social interaction spaces of different generations. This usually produces social isolation in the elderly people due to their limitations on using digital media. This thesis work studies cross-generational family communication practices, in order to provide insights for designing computer-mediated solutions that help reduce the social isolation of elderly people. Based on that, we intend to support family connection through a social personalization model that tries to align the social interaction spaces of the elderly with those of their family members.
