ABSTRACT

This paper seeks to explore alternative directions for digital literacy education for the elderly through the ideas of Chuang-tzu. In this way, we can explore the direction of digital literacy education for the elderly through the thoughts of Chuang-tzu. The contents are, first, presenting a new perspective on the elderly as a future generation rather than an old generation. Second, creating a digital culture for the elderly rather than inducing adaptation to the digital society. Third, presenting a humanistic perspective that crosses the boundaries between online and offline. Fourth, considering a humanistic perspective that understands the multi-persona of digital avatars. Fifth, presenting a humanistic perspective that approaches digital technology within the context of life. This study is significant in that it presents the direction of digital literacy education from a humanities perspective as a way to support the transition and life of elderly people into the digital society
