Resumo(s)
This paper aims to reflect and discuss the main problems concerning the use of ICT (Information and Communication) and AT (Assistive Technologies) by old people. Some obstacles and constraints were identified as well as some proposals to overcome those difficulties the old people faced when they tried to use ICT/AT. Taking in account that Portugal is a country with a high rate of old people this paper also aims to become a reference for the implementation of policies towards the increased use of ICT/AT by the Portuguese old citizens. This paper it is only a part of the literature review of a post-doc project that will include old citizens (+65) from Lisbon and from Castelo Branco (a rural and middle town of Portugal) in order to research the literacy, the use, the obstacles and the positive opinions of this population.
