Bridging The Digital Gap Between Technology And Veterans

Abstract

This work examines the digital gap between veterans experiencing transition and early adoptions of technology in the modern era. Currently, large integration of technology has been implemented throughout many business sectors that affect veterans such as health, banking, transportation, etc. Many of these veterans face obstacles to maintain the ability to be self-sufficient due to the inability to adapt to technology. I incorporated information from literature reviews about technological advancements and veteran population, along with insight from professionals that work directly with the veteran community. This study highlights the mental and physical barriers veterans endure, affecting their ability to properly understand and use certain technology. This paper informs the reader and modern designers of the concerns related to veteran population when integrating technology for the community.
