 Connectivity is becoming ever more important at every stage of life in every part of our lives. Aging has emerged as a defining trend of the 21st century. The International Telecommunication Union, the United Nations Specialised Agency for Information and Communication Technologies, promotes digital inclusion for all. New and emerging technologies can help the world's aging population stay connected with friends and family, continue living fulfilling lives and remain valuable members of our communities. By building smarter cities, combating age-based discrimination, ensuring financial inclusion of older persons and empowering millions of caregivers worldwide, we can ensure that older persons benefit from digital transformation. World's Telecommunication and Information Society Day reminds us to make the world's accelerating digital transformation available and accessible to everyone. In support of the UN Decade of Healthy Aging, let us together ensure digital technologies empower older persons and enable healthy aging.
