Abstract: Based on the data of China Health and Retirement Tracking Survey (CHARLS) in 2020, this paper takes the elderly aged 60 and above as the research objects, and explores the impact of Internet technology use on the life satisfaction of the elderly through correlation analysis. The study found that the use of Internet technology, education level and self-rated health status of the elderly had an impact on their life satisfaction. The better the self-rated health status of the elderly and the use of Internet technology, the higher the life satisfaction. Based on the above research findings, this paper puts forward suggestions to improve the social attention to the digital divide of the elderly, encourage the elderly to use network technology independently, and enhance the awareness of network security of the elderly, so as to improve the life satisfaction of the elderly.
