Answer

Why do communication gaps affect older people more often in Mallorca?

Older people may be more exposed to communication problems if they do not use a smartphone, have changing phone numbers, or live more independently than before. In Mallorca, that can make it harder for family or authorities to know where they are if something changes suddenly. Small gaps in contact can quickly turn into bigger concern.
