Abstract

It is well known that the earth population is aging; in the forthcoming decades, a so called “silver tsunami” is expected. By 2050 the forecasted population aged 65 years or more, is expected to be globally about 2 billion. Simultaneously, a “technological tsunami” related to advances in digital technology and especially mobile telephony and the internet and accompanied by cloud computing and the Internet of Things has appeared. In this article the role of mobile technologies towards the quality of life improvement for the aged population is investigated in an effort to answer the question: “will these two tsunamis operate in a synergistic manner for the benefit of the third age?”
