Our society is evolving into an aging society. The purpose of this study is to investigate how digital informatization capacity of elderly people, one of the so - called information - neglected people, affects social activities. To this end, we analyzed the relationship between digital informatization level and social activity satisfaction level of old elderly people based on the results of the digital information gap survey in 2017. As a result, it was found that there was a positive relationship between digital access and satisfaction level of social activities, such as whether elderly people have wired / wireless information devices and internet accessibility. Second, it was found that digital information capacity level such as PC usage ability and mobile digital device utilization ability had a positive (+) relationship with only social activities. Third, the level of satisfaction with social activities increased as the level of digital information utilization increased, such as whether they were using wired and mobile Internet. This suggests that the government needs a policy to resolve various information gaps that can enhance the level of digital informatization of elderly people.

As the digital informatization society deepens, the digital divide of the information - underprivileged becomes increasingly serious social problem. In this study, we analyzed the relationship between digital informatization capacity and satisfaction level of leisure activity in low - income class. For the analysis, we analyzed the relationship between digital informatization level and leisure satisfaction level of the low income class based on the results of the digital information gap survey in 2017. As a result, it was found that there was a positive relationship between digital access and leisure activity satisfaction, such as having a wired / wireless information device at low socioeconomic level and availability of Internet access at all times. Second, digital information capacity level and leisure satisfaction level such as PC usage ability and mobile digital device utilization ability have positive (+) relationship. Third, the level of digital information utilization, such as the use of fixed and mobile Internet, also showed a positive (+) relationship with the leisure satisfaction level of the low income class. This suggests that it is necessary to provide various supports to resolve the digital divide between the low income class and the general public.

This study aims to verify the mediating effect of mobile social participation on the relationship between the mobile device capability and life satisfaction. Using the data of 2018 Digital Divide Survey conducted by the National Information Society Agency(NIA), the mediating effect was verified by Baron & Kenny (1986)'s 3 step process, targeting 1,665 middle and older aged adults. The result is as follows: first, the mobile device capability of the middle and older aged people has a positive effect on life satisfaction. Second, the effect of the mobile device capability of middle and older aged people on life satisfaction is partially mediated by mobile social participation including expressing opinions on social concerns, proposing policies and filing a civil complaint, donation and volunteering work and online voting and responding to a poll. The result represents that the mobile device, such as a smart phone or a smart pad, capability of the middle and older aged group not only directly benefits the group but also helps expand their mobile social participation, which leads to, although indirectly, higher life satisfaction. Therefore, the study is expected to be a groundwork for a practical intervention for enlarging the use of mobile device and lifting digital information level of the elderly to encourage mobile social participation and drive life satisfaction.

This study covers the effectiveness of SNS utilization education for the elderly. Participants in the study conducted in-depth interviews with trainees currently participating in education and mentors of the same age who are working as assistive instructors. The study deals with whether SNS utilization education, which is considered difficult, can be a more valid class when an elderly person of the same age becomes a mentor and teaches a class. The results of the study said that it was a fun and rewarding education after using SNS for the elderly, free from fear of difficult devices due to the friendly consideration and empathy of the same age. If a mentor of the same age is used for education on SNS for the elderly, SNS education, which has been considered difficult and burdensome for the elderly, is expected to be activated with more flexible education.

An explosive growth of mobile devices and smart phones, such as Tablet PC using wireless Internet, is changing the Information environment rapidly. Smart technology telecommuting work or smart work centers, mobile devices, and configure your environment to take advantage of remote collaboration. Also, you do not have the limitations of time and space provides a flexible working environment. Smartwork environment is an IT environment to be provided to carry out the business by accessing remotely via smart device outside of the internal IT infrastructure of an existing. Smartwork system to increase the work efficiency is present to what information protection threats according to their convenience. Safeguards information that can be utilized to build a secure smartwork environment is required. Therefore, in this paper, we examined the worksmart information protection measures that can protect the information be reconciled smoothly to fit the smartwork environment.

최근의 웹을 기반으로 한 소셜 네트워크 서비스의 발전은 사회관계 형성 서비스를 넘어 광고 마케팅 및 SNS 오픈마켓 등의 상업적 이용으로까지 사용되고 있으며 Facebook Live와 같은 개인방송의 영역까지 확장되고 있다. 인터넷을 통한 온라인상의 사회관계는 노화와 질환으로 외출이 어려운 노년층에게 지역사회 및 친구들과의 의사소통을 가능하게 할 뿐만 아니라 인터넷을 통한 정보 활용으로 생활의 질을 향상시키고, 노후를 즐길 수 있는 방법을 찾는 데 도움을 줄 수 있다고 알려져 있다. 하지만 대부분의 웹서비스는 복잡한 사용자 인터페이스를 제공하고 있으며 익숙하지 않은 기기를 사용하는 것은 노년층에게 쉽지 않기 때문에 노년층은 제한된 콘텐츠만을 제공받게 되어 정보화 사회에서 소외될 가능성이 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 웹 접근성을 향상시킨 소셜 콘텐츠 서비스 Photo Alive! Demo EasyFace를 소개한다. 또한 노년층이 다루기 어려웠던 키보드와 마우스를 벗어나 새로운 조작 기기들로 웹 서비스를 이용할 수 있도록 구현하였다. MINIX Remote Control, Mirroring, EasyFace Control Application 세 가지의 조작기기 작동 방법을 구현하여 노년층에 맞춤화 된 새로운 사용자 인터페이스를 제안하고자 한다.

The digital divide issue is re-emerging in step with the rapid progress of digital transformation. Recently, the discussion of the digital divide is expanding to the point that the difference in digital access and use competency deepens economic and social inequality and discrimination. Notably, the phenomenon of the exclusion and alienation of the elderly from society is a serious matter to be addressed. Accordingly, this research was conducted to provide practical help in minimizing the digital divide through its understanding among the elderly. To this end, both the accomplished capital accumulated and experienced in the course of life and their attitudes toward technology in relation to digital competence capital by the elderly were examined in three dimensions. This analysis was conducted using the results of the '2020 The Report on the Digital Divide'. The target group of the analysis comprised 653 seniors aged 65 and above. As a result of the analysis, digital competence capital among the elderly was affected by both various types of accomplished capital such as educational, income, social, and emotional capital and digital device use attitude. Based on this, this study proposed measures to bridge the digital divide among the elderly.

Due to the fourth industrial revolution and the Corona19, the availability of digital devices such as kiosks is a matter directly related to survival for older adults with digital divide. This paper analyzes the problems of existing information service education for older adults and proposes an IT education strategy tailored to aging and life cycle of older adults. The proposed in this study is an educational application-based IT training method that supports repetitive learning regardless of time and place, developing kiosk function as a functional game-type educational application and experimenting with post-training effectiveness. The research method proposed UI usability evaluation frame for older adults, and developed educational applications based on proposed evaluation frame, and conducted kiosk education. As a result of the experiment, the mission success rate after using the IT application was 80.6%, which is a 55.1%P improvement compared to the pre-use(25.5%). This study confirmed that the proposed education for older adults is a way to overcome the limitations of existing IT education in the current situation.
