Media and information literacy has become one of the most urgent challenges of contemporary society. Therefore, this article allows us to explore the conditions of access to technologies and media literacy in adults aged 65 and older in Ecuador and Bolivia. In the same way, it leads us to establish how these aspects influence the living conditions of the members of this generational group. This article was developed within the framework of the research project “Media and informational competence: a focus on older adults in the Andean Community” authored by Eduardo Loaiza Lima, doctoral student of the Interuniversity Doctorate in Communication, which is directed by doctors Ángel Hernando and Antonio García. In this context, we have used a quantitative methodology and applied surveys in an assisted manner in cities such as La Paz (Bolivia), Quito, Machala and Loja in Ecuador, to older adults aged 65 years and older, the same ones who belong to the social care and retired people were also approached, mainly from the educational sector. Among the most relevant findings, it was determined that the number of adults who access technologies has increased in recent years and, consequently, these have improved their living conditions, considering that media and information literacy is a determining factor in accessing information quality information.

The sample comprised 82 infographics published by the Government of Mexico, state governments, and some educational institutions on social networks and official websites. The infographics from the last two years of the current administration were analyzed. Content analysis was implemented, and a digital observation guide, consisting of 20 items, was built for information retrieval and used as a research instrument.  It was observed that infographics have been published in the 68 indigenous languages spoken in Mexico. On average, an infographic is translated into at least five indigenous languages, and 45% were translated into the native languages of their respective regions. Additionally, 55% of the infographics focused on SARSCOV-19, making this the most recurring topic. The government and educational organizations must continue using the various Indigenous languages to inform inhabitants who still practice them, especially in formats as accessible to the population as visual aids such as infographics.
