​"Cyber seniors" typically refers to older adults or elderly individuals who are engaging with and using technology, particularly the internet and digital devices. The term highlights the growing trend of seniors becoming more comfortable and adept at using computers, smartphones, tablets, and the internet.

As technology has become more prevalent and essential in modern life, seniors have increasingly recognized the importance of keeping up with digital advancements. Many older adults have embraced technology to stay connected with family and friends, access information, use online services, shop online, and even participate in social media.

Cyber seniors might take part in digital literacy programs, workshops, or online tutorials to improve their technology skills. These initiatives often aim to bridge the digital divide and empower older adults to become more independent, informed, and engaged in today's digital world. The benefits of seniors embracing technology include enhanced communication, improved access to resources and services, and increased social inclusion.

Consider social media for example:
An American Psychological Association (APA) study found seniors who spend time on social media sites were more likely to participate in activities that can lead to greater health, such as cooking healthier recipes, and finding easier ways to clean and maintain their homes. The study also indicates that they have lower blood pressure and fewer instances of diabetes, and less negative health habits such as smoking, depression, or disease.
 
Facebook is particularly useful for linking up with loved ones. It makes for more frequent conversations and helps close the generation gap.
 
Feeling connected is very important to any senior’s wellbeing. Social media allows the senior to make plans with others to meet up outside of the home. It also allows seniors who are unable to leave home to socialize online to combat loneliness or social isolation.
 
Overall, the concept of "cyber seniors" underscores the significance of digital literacy for all age groups and the potential for technology to positively impact the lives of older individuals.
