WHY Simplify Technology for Seniors "Isolation in the pandemic is hitting elderly people especially hard."- 2020 WSJ article."Restrictions/confinements, isolation/loneliness are top categories of stress amongst seniors"- study by Brenda Whitehead published in the Gerontologist. To stay connected during pandemic, there was a transformation to digitalization. Tech usage amongst older adults skyrocketed. Family gatherings on video and online orders from grocery stores were some of the most highly used applications. Still, lack of knowledge and complexity is reported as one of the top barriers to adopting technology amongst seniors. This point hit home when my father passed away in 2021 and we were not able to see him for more than a couple of years. All our attempts to have him to do Zoom meetings with us failed as he simply used to say,"it is too complex." So we decided to simplify technology for Seniors!
