Project Overview
We worked on extensive design research for the project and depicted all the data in a report with infographics and data visualisation. The project discusses what digital inclusivity for adults ages 65 and above means, and how it corresponds to their participation on social networking sites. Technological challenges faced by them are reviewed. We then dive into understanding the context of the problem, where we review social media with a light on older individuals. Social networking platforms such as Facebook and Instagram are examined. We move on to study the negative impact of these platforms. The importance of digital inclusivity of older persons on social media and its relevance worldwide in various fields is considered, which leads us to the problem of age bias and deliberate exclusion of this group on social media.
