Abstract

communication distance intergenerational twitter Aging
We present two devices designed to facilitate information transfer and communication between family members, particularly older adults and their younger relatives. Central to both devices is their use of Twitter to send updates and messages to relatives and friends. In this paper, we report on the design of the system and share results from preliminary focus groups.
