Abstract

As a hot medium, the audiobook is easily accepted by the elderly among new Internet media. The elderly groups marginalized by the network society in the past are gradually stripping off the vested title of “digital refugee”. This study aims to expound on how audiobooks can grasp the large emerging user group of the senior and vigorously tap the potential value of the silver economy. Through questionnaire investigation and in-depth interviews of ten audiobook senior users, the connection between an audiobook and the sliver economy has been summarized, indicating that audiobook is boosting the silver economy in many ways. This result suggests that audiobook needs to introduce more personalized content to keep their good content samples evolving to achieve a win-win situation of economic and social benefits.
