Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic catalysed the adoption of technology in every facet of our lives. With growing reliance on technology, it is vital to ensure that efforts to promote or enhance older adults' use, adoption or interaction with technology remain salient. Using a systematic review and a search of five databases bounded over a five-year period, this review summarises the state of the literature on older adults' interactions and perceptions of technology, emphasising the interplay between privacy and types of technology. The antecedent-privacy concern-outcome (APCO) model was used to frame the findings and type of technology was proposed as an associated privacy-related research factor. The review reveals older adults' privacy perceptions align with the principles underlying the APCO model including their awareness, experiences and demographic differences and their willingness to use a particular type as a privacy outcome spotlights contextual relationships that calls for exploration.
