Writing in the "Twilight Zone" and Lessons for Inclusive Design

Rachel Tofteland-Trampe

Abstract

Digital life for older women seeking employment includes several hurdles. Their stories and experiences illuminate the range of pressures they're experiencing (e.g., societal, economic) and the negative emotions that accompany those. Their challenges illustrate why some of their digital tools are hard to work with and how they can have a negative impact on them. Two women also named internal dialogues that may also influence their experience with digital tools and may prevent them from having the confidence or desire to develop their digital literacies further.
