AbstractTechnology for older adults usually focuses on assistance and care, emphasizing the frailty of older adults. Most older adults, however, are independent, with strong convictions and no time to be patient. This is related to remaining time of life and the consequent undesirability of postponement of benefits. It is proposed that assisting older people to navigate available information spaces as well as physical environments, including leisure services, to obtain desired benefits is an important research agenda. This requires strong disciplinary research and extensive evaluation, which might form a good topic for gerontechnology.Keywords: leisure; enhancement; gerontechnology
