Abstract
Technological predilection among different generations for social interaction affected intergenerational communication gap. The rapid intensification of internet and increased technological mediums create digital divide among younger generation and elderly. Regrettably most elderly are unable to use Social media. Elderly people left behind in many areas of digital services platforms and technological skills. In this paper, we proposed a unique system for intergenerational communication based on digital family photos named as “Photo Alive!” to diminished intergenerational interaction problems. The development includes implementation and design of photo-based tagging service and photo-based interaction service with smart aging techniques. We concentrate on captivate of elderly in social media using digital photos with specific goal to enhance social interaction with family members, friends, and younger generation by providing elderly easy user interaction mediums on elderly tangible social service. The preliminary evaluation results indicate that the system is elderly friendly for social communication.
