As digital services increasingly become the default channel for healthcare, government benefits, banking, and social connection, older adults who lack internet skills and access face growing disadvantages. Studies found that only about 61 percent of Americans aged 65 and older use the internet regularly, with barriers including lack of foundational knowledge, fear of misusing devices, declining vision and motor skills, and prohibitive costs. Programs across the country have sought to address this divide through targeted interventions. Los Angeles County's Aging & Disabilities department launched its Access to Technology program, distributing over 3,000 tablets with multi-year data plans alongside structured digital literacy training. Advocates argue that digital inclusion for older adults is not merely a convenience issue but a health equity imperative, with social isolation and missed care opportunities carrying measurable public health costs.
The year 2023 marked a turning point in cardiovascular medicine, with several significant research developments offering new hope for heart attack survivors.

David Shrigley is a Glasgow-based British artist whose work occupies a singular space between fine art, graphic humor, and philosophical absurdism. He is best known for his deceptively simple drawings — crude figures paired with deadpan, often darkly comic text — that probe mortality, anxiety, and the strangeness of everyday existence. He earned a Turner Prize nomination in 2013 and a Fourth Plinth commission for Trafalgar Square in 2016.
