description Productive ageing refers to elderlies’ participation in activities that provide a range of values to society and to themselves. With the elderlies’ declining physical abilities, their quality of life is focused on their participation in intrinsic value activities for self-actualization. The advancement of ICT provides connectivity for elderlies; hence, providing opportunities for them to participate meaningfully in the society. The present ICT services appear to be geared towards physiological and safety aspects in supporting elderlies declining physical ability. However, ICT services that enhance social relatedness, self-development, self-esteem and self-actualization leading to intrinsic values among them, appear to be lacking. Elderlies are motivated to use ICT services if the services can give them the much needed intrinsic values.
