Nowadays even your grandmother is not likely to call you on your landline.Evidence indicates that the elderly are in fact adapting to new technology quite easily，especially as digital technology continues to become ever more user-friendly.For those who do have difficulty，help is at hand.
    In many countries，the elderly can receive free training in the use of computers，and learn how to correspond by email，how to send photos and voice messages，and how to use the Internet for shopping and other services.Across the world，centres for the elderly report that their most popular classes are in the use of smartphones and tables.It is clear that the elderly have already come to rely on digital technology to help them remain independent and keep in touch with friends and relatives.
    Elderly people enjoy using technology for the same reasons as the rest of us：entertainment and leisure.Having plenty of free time，many elderly people like to find out new things or write down their experiences.Being able to use a computer，smartphone or tablet makes this easier to do，and can open the door to interesting hobbies.Many social media sites developed for the younger generation are now being enjoyed by the elderly，too.And for elderly people who may be unable to leave their homes without assistance，communication with the outside world is essential to prevent loneliness and to allow them to call for help in emergencies.In Singapore，the elderly are even turning to robots to keep them in good physical shape.
    So it would seem that rather than being afraid of new technology，the elderly have much to gain from it，and are embracing it fully.As digital technology comes down in price，and becomes easier to operate，it could help to transform old age for millions of people.
