Autopilot versus hearing aid. Domain- and technology type-specific parameters of older people’s technology acceptance
In our society more and more people need technologies - such as medical and automobil technologies - to live an independent and autonomous life in old age. These technologies must meet older peoples specific demands - otherwise they neither are useful nor usable. For the development of well-accepted future technologies, we have to find out, which factors are relevant for the evaluation and acceptance of different technologies. The present study examines conditions of older users technology evaluation and acceptance taking different using contexts into account. Empirically, perceived advantages and barriers within the medical and the automobile technology domains were compared and examined with an interview and a following questionnaire study. Results show that acceptance and barriers vary according to the using context as well as to the type of technology.
