Wazee kama yalivyo makundi mengine hawapaswi kubaguliwa kwenye matumizi ya mtandao ili kufanikisha maisha yao ya kila siku.
Wanapaswa kujengewa uwezo wa matumizi sahihi ya mtandao unaoendana na mahitaji ya sasa ili waweze kufurahia vizuri haki yao hii ya msingi.
Kwa wale wenye mahitaji maalum, jamii iwatambue na kutoa usaidizi unaohitajika ili kutokuwafanya waachwe nyuma.

There is a familiar scene in today’s fast-paced and globally connected world. It’s one where young people seem justified in their exasperation over older adults and the Internet, in an attitude that falls into what researchers call the most invisible form of discrimination—ageism1. After all, the Internet has become deeply integrated into everyday life.
Even among senior citizens, the use of Internet and the social media is growing2. But that only leads to the risk of non-users being further isolated from their communities as social exclusion goes digital, too.
For instance, a son who impatiently teaches his mother how to use Facebook. A granddaughter begrudgingly tries to help her grandfather in using Zoom. A young lady at the Internet cafe looking condescendingly at an old man trying to open an Internet browser. In all situations, the young mutter to themselves, “the elderly and the Internet is what water is to oil—they don’t go together.”
It’s for these reasons there is clamor for spaces where older adults can learn about digital tools and materials without fear of being judged. One of them is Techie Senior Citizens. While the pandemic has highlighted the need for older adults to grasp the Internet, the organization has long seen the impact of digital ageism among an underrepresented demographic.
Pre-pandemic, seniors have already been attending Techie Senior’s workshops and programs, where the elderly are welcomed in a learning environment and taught via a non-judgmental approach.
Self-efficacy is also seen as a factor that affects the belief of senior citizens in their ability to learn and master a new experience5. If older adults believe they can succeed in a specific situation, the more likely they will attempt the task rather than avoid it. Even perceived ease of use and usefulness have been considered.
Why would a senior citizen bother trying to master Facebook or Zoom when they’ve largely survived without it over the years? In addition to social and psychological factors, physical conditions affecting mobility, sight, or dexterity6, can also prove to be a challenge in using technology7.
