Sažetak
This article presents the integration of elderly people in modern communication. At birth, we can talk about aging, as yet an invisible field, which is later on, is shown in many mental, physical and social changes. Today, the number of elderly people increases with extensive speed, so elderly people need to be taken positively with more attention deserved - by that both sides are being prepared for their age. To continue to enjoy the success and quality of life, we must bring to their lives as bigger variety of information as possible - communication technology, which is an influential factor of our lifestyle. The purpose of this article was to determine if the integration of elderly people in modern communication is satisfactory, and how elderly are adapting modern communication. This article is based on a review of relevant literature and sources in English and Slovenian. After analyzing the relevant literature, an analysis of collected data about integration of elderly into modern communication has been made. Today a big factor for non-usage of modern communication among elderly is based on their not-knowledge and ignorance of using the modern communication technologies, that is why it is important that with the help of various institutions, courses and lectures of the usage of information-communication technologies, are being organized. A product that is meant to be used by elderly, needs to be adjusted in that way, that the usage of it is easy and customizable for elderly.
