Computational Thinking for eSeniors 55+ Using AI Tools
In a long-lived society, it is increasingly useful and even necessary that seniors 55+ have access to digital technologies and know how to use them. It is beneficial for them to know the logic of how technology works. We would like to investigate the opportunities of supporting the accelerated use of technology by active seniors 55+; we would like to assist as many Seniors as possible to become eSeniors. An eSenior is a senior who often uses the Internet and eServices.
In a couple of Zoom meetings recently, we discussed the benefits of using artificial intelligence (AI) tools for eSeniors 55+. For example, ChatCPT, Copilot for Microsoft 365, Google Bard AI. Some eSeniors may find it interesting to learn more about the possibilities of creating a computer program using an AI tool. For these, it can be useful to learn the basics of a programming language such as Python.
On the Using Digital Technologies for Active Aging website, we will publish the links to actions that support Computational Thinking for eSeniors 55+ Using AI Tools. Computational thinking refers to the thought processes involved in formulating problems so their solutions can be represented as computational steps and algorithms. In education, computational thinking is a set of problem-solving methods that involve expressing problems and their solutions in ways that a computer could also execute. It involves automation of processes, but also using computing to explore, analyze, and understand processes (natural and artificial).
You are cordially invited to join the Supporters of the initiative and help exchange ideas and plan actions. Your email confirmation to Joze.Gricar@UM.si, Secretary will allow us to publish your coordinates on the initiative’s website.
Justification for the initiative
The use of digital technologies in active aging is crucial for promoting social engagement, providing access to information and healthcare, ensuring safety and security, supporting cognitive function, and enhancing the overall well-being and quality of life for seniors.
Opportunities for efficient and successful active aging in the longevity society are increasingly linked to the possibilities brought about new technologies such as online meeting technology and artificial intelligence tools. While the Covid-19 pandemic has taught humanity a series of sad lessons about potential problems, it has also accelerated the process of discovering new opportunities of solving these problems by resorting to new technologies. Research and participation in concrete actions of those concerned who are interested in this topic have intensified the need of eCollaboration among them. Retired university professors are no doubt among them, as they may contribute considerably in this respect.
The initiative Using Digital Technologies for Active Aging was launched on February 10, 2024, with the aim of drawing attention to the great opportunities of using digital technology in the longevity society, with special regard to the growing share of persons aged 55+. The initiative was launched on the anniversary of the launch of the Intermunicipal initiative Cross-border eCollaboration in the eRegion in 2011. Information was published on 10.2.2011 Initiative Meeting, 1st Meeting, Rectorate, University of Maribor. Approximately 1,000 representatives of organizations from various fields are part of this initiative, which has since launched a number of campaigns promoting cross-border eCollaboration. Links to events (meetings, panels, workshops, conferences) initiated by the initiative are posted on the Professors Emeriti Network website. The technological support of the initiative portal eRegion.eu is provided by the company SRC d.o.o. Ljubljana. The Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 brought face-to-face meetings to a halt.
Members of the initiative Using Digital Technologies for Active Aging plan to collect and study online publications of relevant articles and reports and publish the links to them on the initiative’s website. Their aim is to work together as a network focused on the needs, wishes and potentials of seniors 55+ (user-centered). Short problem-based and action-oriented author contributions of 1-2 pages will be published on the website as attachments in order to draw attention to possible concrete solutions of these problems.
The initiative will allow for the expansion and upgrading of the established eCollaboration of eSeniors’ networks. The term “eSenior 55+” refers to the individuals 55 years old and over who use digital technologies, online platforms. In the digitized society, seniors are increasingly becoming a part of the digital landscape, using technology for various purposes such as communication, entertainment, healthcare, learning, and more. eSeniors are increasingly using digital technology to stay connected with family and friends, to access information and eServices, and to engage in activities that enhance their well-being. Seniors 55+ represent a major segment of the Silver Economy.
Accelerated actions are needed to ensure that seniors are not left behind in the digital age and that the workforce is prepared for the changing demands of the economy. This includes investing in digital infrastructure, providing digital skills training, and support for seniors, and developing policies that support the needs of an aging population. Governments, businesses, and individuals have a role to play in this process, and the sooner we act, the better prepared we will be for the future.
eCollaboration can be accelerated by linking web pages ( Emeriti Retired Academics Websites Interlinking Jože Gričar 22.06.2023). With this, it is possible to help realize two principles: If we tell someone what we know, we still have everything left. We walk, what we talk.
The initiative is open. Personal data of those supporting the initiative will be published. Retired professors, and retired eAcademics in particular are invited to join in order to ensure interdisciplinarity. Active employees are also invited to participate for the purpose of intergenerational eCollaboration. Those interested should send personal data to Joze.Gricar@UM.si, Secretary.
Utemeljitev pobude
Uporaba digitalnih tehnologij v aktivnem staranju je ključnega pomena za spodbujanje družbene angažiranosti, zagotavljanje dostopa do podatkov in zdravstvene oskrbe, zagotavljanje varnosti, podpiranje kognitivnih funkcij ter povečanje splošne blaginje in kakovosti življenja seniorjev.
Priložnosti za učinkovito in uspešno aktivno staranje v dolgoživi družbi so vedno bolj povezane z možnostmi, ki jih prinašajo nove tehnologije, kot so tehnologija spletnih sestankov in orodja umetne inteligence. Medtem ko je pandemija Covid-19 človeštvu dala vrsto žalostnih lekcij o morebitnih težavah, je tudi pospešila proces odkrivanja novih priložnosti za reševanje teh težav z uporabo novih tehnologij. Raziskovanje in sodelovanje v konkretnih akcijah zainteresiranih, ki jih ta tematika zanima, je okrepilo potrebo po e-sodelovanju. Mednje nedvomno sodijo upokojeni univerzitetni profesorji, ki lahko pri tem veliko prispevajo.
Pobuda Uporaba digitalnih tehnologij za aktivno staranje je bila sprožena 10. februarja 2024 z namenom opozoriti na velike možnosti uporabe tehnologije v dolgoživi družbi, s posebnim poudarkom na naraščajočem deležu oseb, starih 55+. Pobuda je bila sprožena ob obletnici začetka Medobčinske pobude Čezmejno e-sodelovanje v e-regiji leta 2011. Informacija je bila objavljena 10.2.2011 Iniciativni sestanek, 1. sestanek, Rektorat Univerze v Mariboru. Približno 1.000 predstavnikov organizacij različnih področij je del te pobude, ki je od takrat sprožila številne akcije za promocijo čezmejnega e-sodelovanja. Povezave do zapisov o dogodkih (sestankih, panelih, delavnicah, konferencah), ki jih je pobuda sprožila, so objavljene na spletni strani Professors Emeriti Network. Tehnološko podporo portala pobude eRegion.eu zagotavlja podjetje SRC d.o.o. Ljubljana. Pandemija Covid-19 leta 2020 je ustavila osebna srečanja.
Člani pobude Uporaba digitalnih tehnologij za aktivno staranje načrtujejo zbiranje in proučevanje spletnih objav relevantnih člankov in poročil ter objavo povezav do njih na spletni strani pobude. Njihov cilj je delovati skupaj kot omrežje, osredotočeno na potrebe, želje in možnosti seniorjev 55+ (usmerjenost k uporabniku). Na spletni strani bodo kot priponke objavljeni kratki problemski in akcijsko naravnani avtorski prispevki na 1-2 straneh, da bi opozorili na možne konkretne rešitve teh problemov.
Pobuda bo omogočila širitev in nadgradnjo vzpostavljenega omrežja eSeniors Network. Izraz “e-senior 55+” se nanaša na posameznike, stare 55 let in več, ki uporabljajo digitalne tehnologije, spletne platforme. V digitalizirani družbi postajajo seniorji vse bolj del digitalne pokrajine, ki uporabljajo tehnologijo za različne namene, kot so komunikacija, zabava, zdravstvo, učenje itd. E-seniorji vse več uporabljajo digitalno tehnologijo, da ostanejo povezani z družino in prijatelji, za dostop do podatkov in e-storitev ter za vključitev v dejavnosti, ki izboljšujejo njihovo dobro počutje. Seniorji 55+ predstavljajo glavno sestavino srebrne ekonomije.
Potrebni so pospešeni ukrepi, da bi zagotovili, da seniorji v digitalni dobi ne bodo zapostavljeni in da bo delovna sila pripravljena na spreminjajoče se zahteve gospodarstva. To vključuje naložbe v digitalno infrastrukturo, zagotavljanje usposabljanja za digitalne spretnosti in podporo seniorjem ter razvoj politik, ki podpirajo potrebe starajočega se prebivalstva. Vlade, podjetja in posamezniki imajo v tem procesu svojo vlogo in prej ko začnemo ukrepati, bolje bomo pripravljeni na prihodnost.
E-sodelovanje je mogoče pospešiti s povezovanjem spletni strani ( Emeriti Retired Academics Websites Interlinking Jože Gričar 22.06.2023). S tem je mogoče pomagati pri uresničevanju dveh načel: Če nekomu povem, kar vemo, nam še vedno vse ostane. Delamo, kar govorimo.
Pobuda je odprta. Osebni podatki podpornikov pobude bodo objavljeni. Upokojeni profesorji in še posebej upokojeni e-akademiki so vabljeni, da se pridružijo za zagotavljanje interdisciplinarnosti. K sodelovanju so vabljeni tudi aktivni zaposleni z namenom medgeneracijskega e-sodelovanja. Zainteresirani naj pošlje osebne podatke na naslov Joze.Gricar@UM.si, tajnik.
