Annotation
Reflections on design for all and technological progress that are expected to improve older people's lives dramatically are also current challenges for research in social and cultural anthropology. This kind of research on ageing and old age is the intersection of the material-objective world and its personal-subjective perception. The dissertation should address the topic of materiality involving "non humane" actors creating our social world. It includes, for example, the design of assistive technologies or environments suitable for all ages.
