Adultos mayores y sus interacciones con las TIC en el punto vive digital Toberín de la ciudad de Bogotá.

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

Society is undergoing a process of digitalization that is leading people of all ages to feel the need to incorporate digital technologies (DT) in their daily activities, there being a shared desire for many of them to immerse themselves in the digital culture. When observing the relationship of older adults with DT, it is perceived that society has difficulties to listen to the particularities of this age stage, and it is usually other people who speak for them, leaving aside the proper feeling of this population. Being this the panorama, the present investigation had as objective to understand how older adults are positioned in front of the dynamics with digital technologies developed in Punto Vive Digital (PVD) Toberín in Bogotá (Colombia), which is a program that is part of the public policy "Plan Vive Digital", which is operationalized through DT courses. To achieve this objective, the qualitative approach was used through the case study with ethnographic inspiration and the indiciary method, through questionnaires, participant observation, field diary, conversation rounds and interviews, instruments that allowed an approach to the experiences, opinions and feelings of the subjects observed, to understand how they conceive the processes of which they participate in the community center. It was evidenced that older adults focus their positions towards the strengths of the dynamics that are carried out in the PVD, due to the lack of knowledge of the possibilities that the DT have, beyond a mechanical and technical use of the procedures, because they have been accustomed to approach to the knowledge in a traditional way, understanding that this is the correct model, as it is the only one they know, and because they are the same seniors who have built many of the dynamics of the PVD, which are not born from the guidelines proposed by the Ministry of Technologies, but are the result of their relationships with colleagues, teachers and the Point. Likewise, the subjects of the investigation said they found some difficulties in the PVD, related to its infrastructure, the number of computers, the quality of the internet, the softwares and interfaces offered, which are not being adequate to meet the needs, specific characteristics and desires of this age phase, being older adults who are having to adapt to these conditions. It was concluded that older adults who participate in DT activities in the PVD Toberín see in a positive way the dynamics that take place in this space, and conceive them as a gain, especially because they provide opportunities for socialization, but it is necessary to go beyond that, since the approach to the DT that they are carrying out in this community center is still insufficient, given the complexity of the contemporary context and the need of citizens to immerse themselves in the digital culture, which would allow them to conquer and fully exercise their rights.
