| Abstract(in English) | The ability of information search is needed to use the Internet efficiently and effectively. In this research, we conducted some investigations and experiments with the particular three older people to show the purpose and the characteristics of their web usage. As a result, we found that old people used the Internet as a way to fulfill their needs of a real life. In terms of their characteristics of web usage, we also found that they watched at the incorrect web pages again and again, they had poor ability to enter the appropriate keywords, and they needed to extra time to judge whether the web page had information they search. Therefore, it could be clear that some kind of navigation could help them use the Internet efficiently and that web site designer or developer must pay attention to the characteristics of old people group such as a various age, PC skills, and their web experiences. |
