The article introduces the results of research conducted within the elderly people of Municipality of Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic. The main research objective is to discover whether (1) the level of education and (2) exploitation of ICT/smart technologies on work positions in the productive age correlate to the education and training in this field in the post-productive age. The method of questionnaire applied to the research sample of 432 respondents to provide answers to five questions and to verify two hypotheses. The collected data were processed by the IBM SPSS Statistics software. The findings, correlating to similar studies conducted in other countries, proved the necessity to develop methodologies on acquiring new technologies by the elderly people in the future.
