Resumen
the use of ICT can help the elderlies to enjoy and include themselves in the knowledge society, mostly by the Digital Social Networks where they can relate with family and friends. The Digital Social Network (DSN) is a means that allow changes in social relationships. This paper intended to investigate the DSN influence in the quality of life of the elderlies. For this purpose, we applied two investigation instruments to collect the data, including WHOQOL-bref of the World Health Organization in a sample of 19 elderlies that participate of a digital inclusion course. As result we found an active audience that participates in the web, and they use the DSN mainly for communication and exchange information as a form to maintain the exist relations and obtain new ones. This shown to us that the use of DSN can aid the quality of life for elderlies.
