All my research has made me realize there is not a definate answer as to why the older generation do not participate. Some of the older generation do participate, my Nanna and Grandad are prove of this. But not all the older generation do not participate. Apple offer support to older people and free tutorials of how to use the technology by making the older generation aware of the facilities and support companies offer will make them feel excited about learning new skills and encourage them when doing so.
Peoples Stories-Liverpool Lives could encourage the older generation to particiapate by showing them a benefit as to why they should share their stories with other people. Competitions could be encouraging. So they feel as though they're recieving something back for sharing their memories.
