Abstract

This work approaches the 60+ group's relationship with the digital environment Such an approach is justified by the increase in the population's life expectancy and by the constant. technological advances that exist. The objective of this work is to obtain data on the exclusion of elderly people in digital environment and, from these data, develop a prototype of an application to facilitate the digital inclusion of the public over 60 years old. We seek to achieve this purpose through descriptive research with a quantitative technique carried out with 30 members of the APPIVR (Association of Retirees. Pensioners and Elderly of Varginha and Region). The survey showed that the vast majority of respondents do not have access to the internet, feel like being in the digital environment, consider this medium as an important form of socialization and find a teaching application about the digital world useful. From the results achieved, it can be seen that the researched public's greatest desire is to use social networks and know how to browse the internet.
