Sažetak
Abstract Introduction: Old age and aging has been a subject of interest of art, literature and science throughout history. Philosophers have connected old age with wisdom and authority, doctors with illness and physiological changes occurring over the years, while gerontology, with its theories, aims to present it with all its advantages including the influence of biological, psychological, social and economic factors on old age and the process of aging. Aim: Frequency of using the Internet and Internet based social networking sites by the elderly. Methods: A part of the survey concerning the tendency to use different media was used in the research. Results: The research shows that the elderly contribute a lot to the development of stereotypes about them by their own attitudes and behaviour. In everyday life they almost never use all the available types of media, particularly not the more recent ones, such as the Internet and Internet based social networks. However, getting information through the local media and television plays an important role in creating their attitudes. Conclusion: Infrequent use of new media, for example the Internet and Internet based social networks, may result from a declining economic situation or still present lower levels of education of the elderly. It is expected that their education status will change in the future and create an interest in modern media.
