seniors angry at the all-digital diktat

The advent of digital technology has marginalized a good number of elderly people, who have a hard time getting used to new technologies. Therefore, many seniors denounce the all-digital diktat. In other words, they rail against the administrative procedures that have become more and more digital. The teams of 13 Hours of France 2 went into a Ehpad to see the extent of this marginalization.

Faced with digitization, some elderly people find themselves in difficulty. “I feel incapable. It stresses me out because yes, I feel like I’m being let down by all this technology“, enraged Jacqueline Filliat, a resident of Ehpad in Villeurbanne (Rhône). This situation annoys older people more and more, even if assistance centers exist. They want to prevent the dematerialization of procedures.
