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) 517 2 $aDomínguez-Rué et al., Ageing and Technology$ePerspectives from the Social Sciences 606 $aAgeing 606 $aTechnology 606 $aSocial Sciences 606 $aAging Studies 606 $aSociology of Technology 606 $aBody 606 $aSociology 615 4$aAgeing 615 4$aTechnology 615 4$aSocial Sciences 615 4$aAging Studies 615 4$aSociology of Technology 615 4$aBody 615 4$aSociology 676 $a604.846 702 $aNierling$b Linda$p
