Main Article Content
The configuration of social realities based on the development of information and communication technologies has created new social inequalities that are exacerbated by the information asymmetry that is present to a greater extent among the vulnerable population such as the elderly population who face a lack of understanding of communication devices and their various forms of interaction with electronic applications.
