It's already well-known that acquiring new knowledge helps prevent mental health problems. Even more so when it involves a new experience with technology.

 

This was proven by a study from the University of California, conducted with people aged 55 to 78, using magnetic resonance imaging. The experiment revealed that, after the first contact with a computer, there was increased brain activity in the areas of language, reading, memory, and visual ability.

​

Tests by the American Association of Geriatric Psychiatry demonstrated significant improvements in processing speed, verbal comprehension, and perceptive reasoning after using technological devices. All of this emphasises the importance of digital practice for the overall health of older adults.
