Open accessAbstract
Background: The world and Europe, in particular, are aging very fast, and in the same vein, digitization is moving very quickly into citizens' routines.Given the fact that the elderly are the largest group of citizens who are info-excluded, this reality is worrying because it will quickly make them socially excluded.This article briefly presents the main initiatives of the European Union and Portugal to promote greater and faster digital inclusion of the elderly people.In the final section, there is a critical reflection on technology acceptance Model, the concept of universal design and usability in order to propose clues and strategies that can and/or may facilitate the use and access of technologies and digital resources by the elderly.

This effort began with the launch of the Lisbon Strategy in 2000, which emphasized innovation and knowledge-based growth as”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
