Abstract
The article calls upon the elderly's testimonies in order to understand the social transformations that occurred from the interaction between this population group and the communication means. Through the workshop called "My first time", each UATI (Universidade Aberta da Terceira Idade - Open University for the Elderly) participant recalls his/her first contact with the cell phone, the computer, the TV, the cinema and the radio. The workshop was developed from the education-communication perspective, which is a field of social intervention that emerged from the interrelationship between communication and education.
