Abstract
The older adult population has a growing interest in learning how to use computers. In the summer of 2003, 36 older participants who had completed a computer class several months ago were queried on whether they continued to use a computer. Fifty-four percent reported that they continued to use the computer; forty-six percent reported that they did not. Among those who did not continue to use the computer the primary reasons were: technological inhibition, reliance on others, insufficient motivation, and lack of access. Strategies are suggested to improve the teaching of computer education to older adults so that a higher percentage will continue to use computers successfully.
