How does the rapid evolution of technology affects the lives of older adults? In a world where a new gadget appears every day, how do our seniors keep up, and why is it crucial that they do and have support?

My guest for this fascinating and vital topic is Vida Roozen, Chief Operating Officer at The Smarter Service. With over two decades of experience in consumer technology and a personal journey that has deepened her understanding of the tech challenges faced by aging adults, Vida brings a wealth of knowledge and a unique perspective to the discussion. The Smarter Service, renowned for its personalized tech concierge services for older adults and senior living communities, stands at the forefront of this field, championing the cause of tech literacy and digital equity for older adults.

In today's episode, we talk all about the world of technology literacy among older adults. We explore the growing importance of tech in ensuring independence, connectivity, and a thriving lifestyle for seniors. It's not just about having the latest devices; it's about how these tools are integrated into their lives and the support available to make this integration seamless and empowering. We'll talk about the challenges in bridging the digital divide, the role of caregivers, and the crucial need for a shift in our approach to tech education for older adults.

Thank you, Vida, for bringing intentionality, care, and love to all you do! I LOVE any opportunity I get to talk and learn from you, my friend!
