Abstract

Digitalizing- the conversion of hard copy materials or paper files and documents into digital files and documents is the demand of the running time. Whatever one does there is digitalizing in it. Whether a person buys vegetables, he either uses the various applications available to place order or even if he purchases it physically, he uses the payment applications to pay the amount. A person spends his maximum time in devices now. He uses mobile phones, laptops, tablets etc. his entire day, spending time on the various applications available for socializing or for daily essentials. A person spends his time playing online games with friends, chatting or more. Every minute a person keeps himself engaged with electronic devices or applications available. This is the need and want of the time. Even if the need and want is an ease for Gen Y, Gen Z, the digitalizing is difficult to adapt for age groups above 60. For senior citizens, i.e. age groups above 60 years, it is tough to easily understand and digitalize oneself. Hence, the main objective of the study is to analyze how easy or difficult it is for the senior citizens i.e. age groups above 60 years to digitalize and use the various digital platforms available. Also, the study shows how digitalizing acts as a boon to society and a curse at the same time. A questionnaire shall be used to collect responses from respondents and further an analysis to be done to find the result.
