ABSTRACT
This work reports on a preliminary analysis of an ongoing study on adoption of tablet computers (tablets) among older adults. Results indicate that only perceived usefulness and knowledge (a dimension of facilitating conditions) are directly associated with older adults’ intention to use tablets. While perceived threat of cyber attacks may not be directly associated, it plays a significant role in predicting older adults’ fear of tablet use and their rejection of tablets’ benefits.
