Abstract

Aging is a global phenomenon and inexorable. The new information and communication technologies become increasingly important in contemporary society, transform relationships and the elderly population has difficulty accessing it. This work is an experience in the USP with the elderly at the Open University of the Third Age. From contact with audiovisual, digital language was presented to students. The ideas of Senex and Puer are used to substantiate this experience.
