On the importance of seniors learning the internet
You’re never too old for the digital age. That was the message during SUN-B’s December 17 meeting, which was held at the SS Joachim and Anne Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Coney Island.
Founder and Executive Director of Older Adults Technology Service (OATS) Tom Kamber was the morning’s guest speaker as he discussed the struggles and importance of getting seniors to become comfortable with the internet.
“The challenge is that as people get older, they tend not to adopt technology the same rates as younger people,” said Kamber. “When seniors are not online now, it’s a real liability. People not on the internet are second class citizens in the social world.”
