Technology changes quickly, but learning to use it should never feel overwhelming. This statement fits my mission of "helping seniors to overcome the risks and fears of using technology."
Tech Know Discussions was created to help senior citizens and their caregivers explore today’s technology in a comfortable, welcoming, and practical way. These conversations are designed to build confidence, reduce fear, and help people make informed decisions about smartphones, apps, online services, privacy, security, artificial intelligence, and everyday digital tools.
Each discussion is built around real questions, real experiences, and useful ideas that can be applied right away. Whether you are learning for yourself, helping a parent, supporting a spouse, or caring for a loved one, our goal is to create open conversations where everyone can learn together.
You do not need to be a technology expert to participate. Bring your curiosity, your questions, and your experiences.
Together, we can discover practical ways to stay connected, stay informed, stay safer online, and continue enjoying technology with confidence.
Good to see you today — and welcome to the conversation.
