- Abstract
Elderly people in rural areas, by using technical assistance and digital technology, may actively take part in social life and improve their quality of life. A prerequisite for that is to be a digital insider. We undertook an investigation with elderly and discovered that people living in single-person households are having less opportunities of being part of digitalization than people living in multi-person households. This increases the already existing risk of being lonely and detects the need for a better social support.
