This presentation examines intersections of age and gender in older people’s internet use. The research perspective combines a focus on technology adoption in the tradition of domestication theory with the understanding of gender-technology relations developed in feminist technology studies, and research on ageing. Findings from a sociological study conducted in the North East of the UK, based on 33 semi-structured interviews with women and men between the ages of 55 and 80 about their computer and internet use are presented, demonstrating the significance of traditional age-gender-technology relations and the variety of outcomes of intersections between gender and age in older people’s internet use. </span></p></div></div></div>}, journal={AoIR Selected Papers of Internet Research}, author={Kadi, Selma}, year={2014}, month={Oct.} }
