Aging Connected: Exposing the Hidden Connectivity Crisis for Older Adults

Reports

15 February 2021

Overview

In 2020, Older Adults Technology Services (OATS), with the support of the Humana Foundation, commissioned a comprehensive research study conducted by John Horrigan from The Technology Policy Institute, and Erin York Cornwell from Cornell University. This new research presents a detailed portrait of digitally disconnected older adults in America—how many people remain offline, what demographics are disproportionately affected, which barriers continue to perpetuate non-participation, and how existing connectivity resources match up with patterns of need. In addition, this report will provide a blueprint for action.
