Digitization, encompassing the adoption of digital technologies in everyday life, has profoundly transformed various aspects of society. Among community-dwelling seniors, digitization presents both opportunities and challenges, particularly in relation to daily life activities and social engagement. This article examines the impact of digitization on these dimensions of seniors' lives, exploring how digital technologies enhance or hinder their ability to perform daily tasks and maintain social connections. By analyzing the benefits and barriers of digitization, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of its role in shaping the lives of older adults in contemporary society. . Community-based digital literacy programs and support services are also essential to help seniors develop the skills and confidence needed to engage with digital technologies. Designing digital technologies with seniors in mind can enhance usability and adoption. This involves incorporating features such as larger text, simplified navigation, and voice-activated controls. Involving seniors in the design and testing of digital products can ensure that their needs and preferences are addressed.Integrating digital technologies into social and health interventions can enhance their effectiveness.
