Abstract
The influence of media (television and press) on older people is already documented. In addition, the existence of an important digital gap in elderly people with just a few studies, it is also demonstrated. In this study we demonstrate the high influence of media, especially television and press, in older people who visit the adult education centers in Loma de Úbeda region (Jaén, Andalusia, Spain), when they show their concerns in class. It almostexists a direct correlation between the issues presented on television and newspapers, environmental in this case, and what they consider to be worrying in the classroom. Thus, we try to generate a higher relationship between these students and ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) as an additional source of information for them.
