An overview on adaptation to new technologies

New social, technological, and research challenges arise as the population ages. Poland is set to attend the bunch of nations where one-third of the population is above 65 by 2080. Several strategies are being developed to address the above - mentioned demographic challenge, including the widespread use of humanoids in the elderly care. This article seeks to uncover the perceived key benefits that may shape positive attitudes about humanoids in the care of elderly people, since this research would be the first of its type in Poland. The model posits that four types of perceived benefits, including an effect on life quality, functional elements, ethical issues, and a social impact, may directly form an orientation toward a technology based on the specific characteristics of a humanoid technology. A conceptual framework also predicts that a patient's attitude toward humanoid technology will have an indirect effect on the technology's future intended use. The study data was collected using a survey technique. Private interviews with Polish people was performed using an electronic questionnaire. A total of 643 questionnaires completed. The structural equation modeling showed that the most important factor influencing human views was the perceived social effect of employing humanoids to care for the elderly and make their own lives more pleasant. Men had a more positive attitude about humanoids than women, according to the findings. People between the ages of 26 and 40 had the highest positive attitudes about humanoids across the other age groups of respondents [1].
