When the elderly are given tech gifts, a whopping 66% don’t get any subsequent help using them. With so many family caregivers belonging to the sandwich generation, caring for kids in the home as well as parents, it’s no shock there’s really little time for training. Instead of struggling to find more hours in the day, consider employing a company like Spectra Computer Services, serving the Shuswap area, including Sorrento, Blind Bay and Chase to handle that. Personalized training on tablets, including the iPad, and other devices such as smartphones, desktop computers and laptops is provided. Learners do not need to visit a training centre. Spectra Computer Services visits residences and places of business!

Statistics confirm that 59% of adults aged sixty five plus, report using the Internet? That’s less than the nearly 86% of all adults going on the internet, but it is promising news that the gap between senior citizens and technology is closing. Many people may think that the segment of elders online are just extremely savvy and nothing like senior parents, but chances are these seniors are primed to be members of the digital revolution as well. By introducing seniors to technology, improved mental health, as well as piece of mind for the family may be found.

One of the main keys to successfully mixing seniors and technology is training. When the elderly are given tech gifts, a whopping 66% don’t get any subsequent help in learning how to use them. With many family caregivers belonging to the sandwich generation, caring for kids in the home as well as their parents, it’s no shock there’s really little time for training. Instead of struggling to find more hours in the day, consider employing a service company like Spectra Computer Services, serving the Shuswap area, including Sorrento, Blind Bay and Chase to handle that. This company provides training on tablets, including the iPad. Other devices where training is provided are smartphones, desktops and laptops.

With age comes a decrease in mobility, which can lead to difficulty maintaining a social lifestyle. Intuitively, it may be known that lack of social interaction is harmful to senior’s health. It can also increase the chance of premature death in elders by 14%? Introducing elderly people to technology via social media is a great way to help combat social isolation. Sites like Facebook allow seniors to stay connected with the things going on with family and friends. If there is concern about the elderly not having a lot of friends online, then it makes sense for the learners to get involved in groups that align with interests so new acquaintances can be made.

Bridging seniors and technology together doesn’t have to be a chore or a challenge, but rather an exciting learning experience.
