In current debates on technology, however, the »human factor« is often largely ignored. The ageing individual is rather seen as a malfunctioning machine whose deficiencies must be diagnosed or as a set of limitations to be overcome by means of technological devices. This volume aims at focusing on the perspective of human beings deriving from the development and use of technology: this change of perspective - taking the human being and not technology first - may help us to become more sensitive to the ambivalences involved in the interaction between humans and technology, as well as to adapt technologies to the people that created the need for its existence, thus contributing to improve the quality of life of senior citizens. 410 0$aScience studies (Bielefeld, Germany) 606 $aTechnology and older people 610 $aAging Studies. 610 $aBody. 610 $aSocial Sciences. 610 $aSociology of Technology. 610 $aSociology. 610 $aTechnology. 615 0$aTechnology and older people. 676 $a604.846 702 $aDomi?nguez-Rue?$b Emma 702 $aNierling$b Linda 712 02$aKnowledge Unlatched - KU Select 2017: Backlist Collection$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996308782503316 996 $aAgeing and Technology$91888088 997 $aUNISA
