"This is an important challenge that we are facing around ageism. It's a question of how older people are viewed and brings up the need for national targeted efforts to build an environment supportive of older adults." -@thomaskamber, 2021 Age Boom Academy
.@thomaskamber w/ @OlderAdultsTech made a great point that many in the smart city sector would be wise to remember: There's a lot of talk about "the magic of technology." We've created a tech wonderment but we've lost our wonder about aging. @seniorplanet

How do we create healthy ecosystems for older adults to learn to use technology?
Low-tech solutions can be a viable means to connecting older adults and closing the #digitaldivide - as long as they are connecting and empowering people. - @thomaskamber

By 2020, 7M seniors in rural America are expected to experience social isolation – but everyone should have access to connectivity! It's why we are partnering with @SeniorPlanet to offer training & events for seniors in New York’s North County to improve their quality of life!
@TMobile and OATS are teaming up to combat social isolation among seniors in Northern New York!
With T-Mobile's support, we'll expand Senior Planet's reach in the North Country by providing 100 older adults at risk of social isolation with #technology courses
