  text: 'This paper reports on a study analyzing the attitudes of users towards different
    types of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) services. The study explores the acceptance
    and terms of use of large interactive screens for the most common applications
    types: health, social and convenience services. In order to understand the impact
    of user diversity, we explored age, gender, health status, social contact, interest
    in technology, and the reported ease of use as well as their relation to acceptance.
    Using the questionnaire method, 30 women and 30 men between 17-95 years were examined.
    The results show that users are not yet very familiar with the vision of smart
    technology at home and report a considerable diffidence and aloofness towards
    using such technologies. Persons with many social contacts and a high interest
    in technology show the highest acceptance for electronic services at home. Astonishingly,
    the results for the different applications were insensitive to gender and age,
    which indicates that the precautious attitude towards AAL applications represents
    a universal phenomenon. Consequently, acceptance criteria as well as users'' needs
    and wants should be seriously considered in order to successfully design smart
    home technologies.'
