| Annotation | Information and communication technology (ICT) is increasingly being used with older people and people with dementia, whether to connect them with the outside world via the Internet and e-mail, or as a way of providing services. This editorial reviews some of the literature published since 2002, and introduces the three articles in this special section. Two papers report on the use of computing and the Internet from the perspectives of training and psychological impact, or as a means of reducing loneliness (Fokkema and Knipscheer; Shapira et al). A third paper (Mate-Kole et al) presents details of an investigation into the effects associated with using computer assisted courses in conjunction with reducing cognitive decline. (RH). |
