Abstract

This article shows a study on the perception of the elderly in digital media through published images tagged with four hashtags that identify this audience. To do so, the vision of the elderly person about themselves is shown, as well as the view of third parties about this audience. The hashtags determined to perform data collection were in the national and international scope, and the images were subsequently categorized by topics in order to compare them. The research results suggest a divergent perception of the view of self that this audience has versus the view of others. This is shown in the national and international context, generating a discussion about the topic of global population aging and their relation with new technologies.
