Aging and New Technology on the Job in America

Cover of Karen E. Riggs: Granny @ Work (PDF)

Granny @ Work is an impassioned comment on aging, work, and technology in American culture. As Riggs challenges popular assumptions with surprising research-for example, people over the age of 60 spend more time on the Internet than people of any other age group-and trenchant cultural critique, she forces us to confront the deeply entrenched ageism in today”s technology-driven workplace.
