This book aims to reflect critically on a great deal of HCI research conducted with or concerned about older adults and aging with the goal of sparking future development of the field. To that end, the book offers a critical literature review, which is informed by more than a decade of the author's own empirical work, of 30 years of research in HCI and related areas, including STS, sociology, the psychology of aging, and gerontology. Four key aspects are addressed: (1) conceptualization of older adults, aging, and technology, (2) progress in knowledge generation in HCI and aging, (3) conducting research methods with older adults, and (4) designing technologies for aging. To accomplish this, the book starts by considering the diversity and intersectionality of the older adult population of technology users and its implications for effectively applying HCI research methodologies. It critiques the tendency within HCI studies of solely conceptualizing aging as a problem, one that has a technological solution, and preoccupation with user deficits related to health and age-related declines in functional abilities. The book proposes a significant need for a horizontal body of knowledge in the field that is stymied by individuated development practices that start from scratch with their considerations of the older adult population for each new technology or application. This book calls on researchers to consider novel techniques without overlooking the need to deepen and widen a transversal knowledge base that helps the field progress further and produce technologies that ultimately better serve all users.

本書旨在對大量與老年人及老化相關的HCI（人機互動）研究進行批判性反思，目的是激發該領域的未來發展。為此，本書提供了一個批判性的文獻回顧，這一回顧基於作者十多年來的實證研究，涵蓋了30年來在HCI及相關領域（包括STS、社會學、老化心理學和老年學）的研究成果。本書探討了四個關鍵方面：(1) 對老年人、老化和技術的概念化，(2) HCI與老化知識生成的進展，(3) 與老年人進行研究的方法，以及 (4) 為老化設計技術。為了達成這些目標，本書首先考慮了老年科技使用者群體的多樣性和交叉性，以及這對有效應用HCI研究方法論的影響。它批評了HCI研究中僅將老化視為一個問題的趨勢，這個問題有技術解決方案，並且過於關注與健康和年齡相關的功能能力下降的使用者缺陷。本書提出，該領域迫切需要一個橫向的知識體系，而這一體系受到個別發展實踐的阻礙，這些實踐在考慮老年人群體時，對每一項新技術或應用都從零開始。本書呼籲研究人員考慮新穎的技術，同時不忽視深化和擴展跨領域知識基礎的必要性，以幫助該領域進一步發展，並生產出最終能更好地服務所有使用者的技術。

Sergio Sayago is an Associate Professor of Human-Computer Interaction in Computer Science at the Universitat de Lleida (Spain). He is passionate about exploring the human side of digital technologies. His interdisciplinary research has spanned web accessibility, usability, and e-learning, with a strong focus since 2010 on older-adult HCI. Before joining UdL, Sergio held postdoctoral positions at the University of Dundee (Scotland, 2010-2012) under a Beatriu de Pinós fellowship and at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (Spain, 2012-2014) with an Alliance 4 Universities fellowship. He later served as a visiting lecturer and researcher at the University of Lleida (2014-2016) and the University of Barcelona (2016-2019). He is Associate Editor for the International Journal of Human-Computer Studies and Interacting with Computers. He has served several times as Associate Chair for the CHI subcommittee on Ageing and Accessibility. Sergio won the Best Technical Paper Award at ACM-Web4All 2009. He earned his PhD (cum laude) in Computer Science and Human-Computer Interaction from Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona) in 2009.
