Abstract

For years, it has been anticipated that we will be an ageing society, yet users of TIC. Therefore, it is essential to investigate methods and technology which prevents accessibility barriers to elderly users of Internet and access to Web sites. There are valuable works in this field, and efforts to avoid the triggering of a digital gap due to ageing disability. This work provides a review study of the literature; it then presents an analysis of approaches to data indicating the current accessibility guidelines, explaining how accessibility barriers in elderly are not resolved and in which there is a need to keep working.
