Abstract | Internet and technology have changed our life and habits significantly in
the way of our learning, work, leisure and even communication. In the past, a
home installed with all automatic functions was fanciful, but it became realistic
when the 'Internet of Things (IoT)' was introduced to the world. Home devices
could be interoperated and freely controlled even when the homeowners are
physically outside. Many scholars have put the focus on how Smart Home could
provide support to the elderly independent living and the adoption of Smart Home
among the elderly. It found that the involvement of the family members is a
crucial factor which could lead to the success of the Smart Home Technology by
giving assistance to the elderly. Therefore, this dissertation would like to study
whether the acceptance of Smart Home Technology will be influenced by the
involvement of the young generation. The Technology Acceptance Model would
be applied throughout the research so as to investigate the acceptance by learning
the perception and attitudes of the elderly toward the Smart Home Technology in
Hong Kong. In addition, it also aims to find out whether the assistance of the
young generation could vary their acceptance of using Smart Home Technology.
