Masako stated that she couldn't find any apps for older adults, so she made one herself. The app developers she went to said they didn't know what people her age wanted. Kudos to Masako for learning how to code and building an app that would satisfy her needs and her cohort.
Ability to learn at any age
Ability to learn at any age
Learning can happen at any age. For example, Masako is a self-taught coder and app developer. She has also ventured into educating other older adults about technology, so they can be better connected. Masako destroyed the old adage "You can't teach old dogs new tricks". As such, age isn't an impediment to learn new things, so middle aged and older adults need better representation when it comes to technology.
