<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">In the United States, internet use among older adults has increased greatly, especially over the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has showcased that many in-person activities can be adapted
to online formats (e.g. social interactions via zoom, grocery delivery, telehealth, fitness classes).</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p style="background-position-x:0%;background-position-y:0%;background-attachment:scroll">
<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">While reliance on technology made things easier for some older adults (e.g. grocery delivery), the transition to online platforms exacerbated already present disparities for those struggling with internet use, access,
and acceptance. Older adults, especially those with lower income and education level, tend to lag behind. Despite the great benefits and the actual need, some older adults experience growing levels of digital exclusion because they lack the necessary skills
and resources to successfully engage with the digital world.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="background-position-x:0%;background-position-y:0%;background-attachment:scroll">
<o:p> </o:p></p>
<p style="background-position-x:0%;background-position-y:0%;background-attachment:scroll">
<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Many techniques can be used to remedy digital exclusion, such as enhancing older adults’ skill sets, providing supportive learning environments, and utilizing social supports. Technology can be used to accommodate
changes in mobility which can affect the frequency of in-person meetings with friends, shopping physically, visiting banks, and making medical visits. With proper internet training, older adults can engage in instant messaging, video chatting, online shopping,
which compensates for reduced mobility and social distancing guidelines. Due to ageism older adults are often depicted as incompetent and illiterate in technology use. Computer use can help to increase self-efficacy and lower computer anxiety, in turn enhancing
overall life satisfaction.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p style="background-position-x:0%;background-position-y:0%;background-attachment:scroll">
<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">E-Health literacy can be defined as the ability to seek, find, understand, and appraise health information from electronic sources and apply the knowledge gained to addressing or solving a health problem. As the
role of access to Internet technology has consequences on improving health and well-being, internet technology training for older adults should be a timely priority.

<p style="background-position-x:0%;background-position-y:0%;background-attachment:scroll">
<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Because the younger generation has learned how to use computers, internet and digital devices at school or at work; intergenerational help can be a source of potential training. The gap between younger and older
generation is not only in the actual knowledge of computers, but in the gap in confidence as many older people undervalue their computer knowledge.
