Digital Literacy for Seniors

by | Dec 21, 2020

NEW SCHOOL = DIGITAL LITERACY

Recently in my quest to add great services to the Migrate Home network of professionals, I met Chris Bint at Tech Coaches.  Old school ways of living our daily lives are fast morphing into the new school ways.  In the Year 2020, we saw technology adoption accelerate at an unprecedented pace.

After all, if you did not learn to use Facetime, or Zoom, or WhatsApp you didn’t get to connect – Grandchildren to Grandparents and Grandparents to Grandchildren, grocery delivery, and more!  And what about your other passions?

Are you a voracious learner?  Simply enjoy solving curiosities? Like to get things done efficiently? Share and discuss your interests with other people? Explore the world?

All the things that have been your fondest hobbies, soulful retreats in different pastimes, talking to people, or joys of productivity – they can be found digitally.

And to keep enjoying your passions, and make daily life easy instead of hard, it is important to be digitally literate.  Life is digital these days, so participation (instead of stagnation) requires a little effort and you will be greatly rewarded!

Let the professionals teach you how to find and enjoy your passions, and get things done in today’s world.  Chris Bint of Tech Coaches has some upcoming webinars that are a perfect follow up to that piece of technology you just received – or the one from last year that you are too frustrated with, to open and use. You need to know, you are not alone!  Learn to use your “technology device” to get more out of life!
