Abstract

The article is aimed at analyzing social effects of digitalization using the example of the elderly in a big city. Digitalization in this article is considered in two aspects: as introduction of digital technologies in everyday life (including in the context of the phenomenon “smart city”); and digital transformation of professional practices (constantly reproduced process of their digitization). In the context of its social effects, special attention is paid to phenomena such as technoagism (exclusion of older people from the digital sphere) and related technostress.
