For many people, picking up an iPad to pay a heating bill or accepting a video call from a friend may feel as easy as picking up a phone off the wall. But for others, including many older adults, real barriers keep these technological abilities out of reach. Older adults may lack access to the Internet, knowledge of what they could be accomplishing with technology, or the basic confidence to start learning new tech skills. In this presentation, I share how my nonprofit, Older Adults Technology Services (OATS) from AARP, helps seniors overcome these barriers in order to add useful technology to their lives — and along with it, more ease and connection to the people they love.
