The effects of the use of technology on the elderlyhave been assessed within the context of social classes, groups, and generations.

In this article, the emphasis wasput on the importance of formal and informal education on the use of technology in thestrengthening of intergenerational communication, with the result that technology facilitatesthe daily work of the elderly and strengthens their social communication, thus contributingsignificantly to intergenerational communication. The Global Class Theory, which underliehuman, emphasized that the classification of individuals should be based on human values andthat the elderly individual may exist in all areas of these classes. Increasing the qualitative andquantitative studies to be done in this field due to the importance of technology acceptanceand use and intergenerational communication on seniors will contribute to the literature.For future studies, qualitative and quantitative researches on the use of technology and theacceptance behaviors of the elderly are suggested in terms of intergenerational communicationand social impact.
