15. Family First…
It takes peace and quiet, the right level
and getting involved in order for the
elderly to have as good a learning
situation as possible with children and
grandchildren. In research, people talk
about "warm experts", people who are
- in this case - close to the elderly
person and are available in their lives.
This is in contrast to ordinary "cold"
experts, for example engineers who
develop media technology.

16. Family First…
Older, retired people cannot call the IT department when the mobile phone or
computer is in trouble. Instead, children and grandchildren are important for
learning. Creating quiet moments when learning works is both crucial and
something that the elderly put a lot of effort into, new research shows.

It was striking how active the older people I interviewed are to bring
about moments of learning and to make the situations work.Carolina
