Ageing has become a significant area of
interest in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) in recent years. In this article
we provide a critical analysis of 30 years of ageing research published across
the ACM Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction (SIGCHI)
community. Discourse analysis of the content of 644 archival papers highlights
how ageing is typically framed as a “problem” that can be managed by technology.
We highlight how ageing is typically defined through an emphasis on the
economic and societal impact of health and care needs of older people, concerns
around socialisation as people age, and declines in abilities and associated
reductions in performance when using technology. We draw from research within the
fields of social and critical gerontology to highlight how these discourses in
SIGCHI literature represent common stereotypes around old age
