In her 82 years of life, Kerstin Wolgers never once used a computer or surfed the web -- until now. It was an experience -- or experiment, rather -- that she will never forget. Wolgers, agreeing to wear a camera on her chest, in a five-day digital experiment.

Here in the U.S., around 41 percent of old people report they don't go online, according to a 2012  study. In Sweden, 10 percent of the entire population doesn't use the Internet because they don't understand it. Wolgers admitted she used to be one of those people. But she isn't anymore.

"To be honest, I don't think I was ever interested of the Internet before I realized that it was something I could benefit from," Wolgers explained. "Everything has been very pleasant, but at the same time very difficult."

A short film posted on YouTube after the experiment showed Wolger's reactions while using a computer, cell phone and going online for the first time.

"You could look at this for hours!" Wolgers said with an iPad in hand. "the world is better with access to Internet. It opens up so many possibilities!"

In the end, Wolgers said she's planning to continue learning more about technology.
