Abstract: The entry deals on the possibilities and place of computers and internet in the life of senior citizens. Senior citizens have plenty of time available, looking for a meaning to life. One of the many opportunities is education. The practical section analyzes selected indicators of the lives of senior citizens in the area of education and ICT utilization. The paper provides a number of stimulative findings that reject persistent ideas about dissatisfaction increasing with the quality of life associated with the growing age of senior citizens. The objective of this paper is to contribute to further understanding of senior citizens' needs, since the level of this knowledge represents a limiting factor towards improving the quality of their life.
