Abstract
The results of the sociological study “Digital Technologies for Tomsk Elderly,” conducted in Tomsk (May 2021) using the focus-group-discussion methodology, are analyzed. The study shows that many elderly citizens have no psychological readiness and sustained motivation to integrate into digital reality. Causal relationships are identified between the multifaceted involvement of elderly citizens in society and their skills in mastering and using digital technologies that make people stronger and society as a whole more inclusive in the face of a digital future. Recommendations for involving older people, who are interested in promoting ideas of digital quality of life and the opportunity to use new services, in the process of digital transformation as active actors to form a new, attractive and safe digital future are proposed.
