This anthology contributes to creating awareness on how digital
ageism operates in relation to the widely spread symbolic
representations of old and young age, the (lack of) representation
of diverse older individuals in the design, development, and
discourses and in the actual algorithms and datasets. It also shows
how individuals and institutions deal with digital ageism in
everyday life. In the past decades, digital technologies permeated
most aspects of everyday life and became ingrained into human
existence. With a focus on how age is represented and experienced
in relation to digital technologies leading to digital ageism,
digitalisation's reinforcement of spirals of exclusion and loss of
autonomy of some collectives is explored, when it could be natural
for a great part of society and represent a sort of improvement.
The book addresses social science students and scholars interested
in everyday digital technologies, society and the power struggles
about it, providing insights from different parts of the globe. By
using different methods and touching upon different aspects of
digital ageism and how it plays out in contemporary connected data
societies, this volume will raise awareness, challenge power,
initiate discussions and spur further research into this field.
Life in the digital era offers an array of new and invigorating
opportunities, as well as a new set of challenges when facing the
dissemination of fresh innovations. While once reserved for
personal use, online platforms are now being utilized for more
critical purposes, such as ocial revolution, political influence,
and governance at both the local and national levels. Promoting
Social Changes and Democracy through Information Technology is a
definitive reference source for the latest scholarly research on
the use of the internet, mobile phones, and other digital platforms
for political discourse between citizens and governments. Focusing
on empirical case studies and pivotal theoretical applications of
technology within political science and social activism, this
comprehensive book is an essential reference source for
advanced-level students, researchers, practitioners, and
academicians interested in the changing landscape of democratic
development and social welfare.
