This final paper initially discusses reading, the difference between reader and a person who has stepped from an illiterate culture into a written culture, and also defines reading literacy and the differences between reading literacy and reading ability. In the chapter "Development of technologies in the digital age" we briefly touch on the development of the digital age and the concept of digital transformation, which is inevitable because the digital age integrates new technologies into the lives of older people and people in general. Then, we talk about how our brain works when it reads a text and what all happens before the information reaches the part of the brain that is in charge of recognizing the meaning of words and what happens in an elderly person’s brain when they are using digital media. The chapter "Third age" briefly describes who are the person of third age, respectively the elderly. The next chapter discusses the reading habits of older people and what happens to them when a third age person arrives at the time of retirement, or when he has excess free time. There is also talk of age stereotypes that occur in the elderly. Furthermore, the reading needs and interests of older people are also described and there is a talk about how librarians and the library can help to solve this problem. Finally, it talks about how and how much older people actually use technology and how, for their own good, should be provided a customized interface such as, for example, a touch screen.
