Exploration of the Digital Literacy Among Senior Citizens

This study investigates digital literacy among senior citizens and implements a structured project aimed at bridging the digital divide. The initiative targets individuals aged 55 and above, focusing on equipping them with essential skills in using smartphones, computers, and internetbased services such as email, video calls, online banking, and telehealth. A qualitative research design was employed, involving pre-and post-program interviews, docus group discussions, and hands-on training sessions to assess learning outcomes. Findings revealed that over 80% of participants gained confidence in performing basic digital tasks, thereby improving social connectivity, independence, and access to essential services. Despite significant progress, persistent challenges, such as cybersecurity concerns, and software adaptability highlight the need for continuous support and tailored interventions. This project underscores the importance of intergenerational learning, peer-led training, and inclusive strategies to ensure older adults are not left behind in the digital era.
