Getting access to website health information: does age really matter?
Full text linkIn the majority of the western countries the population is aging at a rapid pace. At the same time, society is increasingly becoming more digitalised. Information is supplied to a growing extent, and frequently solely, in digital form. It is obvious, that this trend poses dangers for people, like senior citizens, who have problems using such new media. They risk being excluded from crucial information (Duimel, 2007: 7). A complicating factor is that the landscape in which older people currently reside2 is largely shaped by what De Lange (2007: 23) calls the ‘decollectivisation of the life course’:What does this ‘decollectivisation of the life course’ entail for senior citizens living in an ever more digitised society?

Introduction
Full text linkAs inhabitants of a multimedia landscape1 we are increasingly being confronted with new digital roadways intended to lead us to a range of new possibilities. The well-trodden paths, the traditional routes via the old media, cannot so easily lead us to these new destinations. The question is whether all generations are able to appreciate and find these new routes, use them and use them safely – if they wish to. All citizens, including young and old, should at least be entitled to have access to this new realm of online and multimedia possibilities so that they will be able to participate more fully in societies in which these technologies and facilities are increasingly prevalent and increasingly confronting us in our everyday lives. However, ‘entitlement’ and ‘access’ do not in themselves guarantee that users can or choose to engage with them
