Noticeable, elderly is a increasingly huge group, their problems, needs, voices is becoming more important, which are often ignored by mainstream society, whose main productive part is young people. There is a big barrier between young people and elderly. They know and cares less about technology, they use internet a little, so it seems they speak different language.
