- COACHING AND SUPPORTING SENIOR CITIZENS TO USE NEW TECHNOLOGY: Our vision is to coach and support senior citizens or older adults to use modern technology and connect to the digital world. The fear of new technology. Yes, technology is moving at a very fast pace and this can be quite intimidating to senior citizens. The technology of yesterday is just a story today. This can be overwhelming for anyone, including seniors. New updates, apps, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other features seem to emerge daily, making it challenging to keep up with the latest trends.
TIP: The key is to recognize that you don’t need to master every aspect of technology. Focus on what is relevant to you and your interests. Take your time to learn the basics first and gradually explore more advanced features as you become more comfortable.
