Digital Repertoires explores the intersection between ageing and
technology, presenting the concept of ‘digital repertoire’ as a powerful
tool for researchers across disciplines such as anthropology, sociology,
gerontology, public policy, communication studies and design. This book
offers new theoretical and empirical insights, and highlights the
diverse ways in which older adults engage with digital technologies
across five continents. With studies from Australia, Brazil, Finland,
Japan, the Philippines and Sweden, the book provides a global and
cross-cultural analysis on a pressing issue.

The notion of the digital repertoire has broad appeal, making this book
relevant not only to scholars and practitioners focused on ageing but to
anyone interested in the heterogeneity of digital technology use across
different age groups and cultural contexts. With a balanced approach
that combines conceptual, theoretical and empirical perspectives, this
volume is an essential resource for teaching, research and practice in
the ever-evolving field of digital technology studies, as well as the
development of technology for older adults.
