Well, I'm definitely a techie!

Most everything I need to do or keep up with is either on my phone, my iPad or my MacBook, whether it's my grocery list or my taxes, address book or games (did someone mention Candy Crush?

) my artwork or GPS, taking photos or posting to Facebook and instagram, to-do lists or banking, searching the web, posting on this forum.....so much more. It's all there, and shared between my devices so that I can access what I need when I need it, either when I'm on the go at work or on one of our mini get-aways, or out and about, or at home lying in bed or sitting on the couch or anywhere else.
My personal opinion is that there aren't too many lives out there that wouldn't be improved with a bit more technology ... "improved" being a relative term of course. And it's an opinion with a basis in fact. In my work, I've taught a number of seniors how to use a smart phone, how to operate a computer, have helped them set up email accounts, and get on Facebook, and use instagram, and text and FaceTime. Without exception, once they got beyond the learning curve, they have been amazed and elated at how it changed their lives for the better.
In their cases, it wasn't the FACT of technology that they disagreed with or were dubious about. It was the learning curve associated with the various devices, and it looked so complicated and how would they ever manage to learn all that stuff??? They're all old enough that I remind them that they used to operate a TV without a remote, but once they got a TV with a remote, they learned.... how to turn it on and off, change channels, search the onboard guide, navigate netflix and Showtime and all that. They learned how to operate their DVD player (if they're still using one) and their VCR before that. It was daunting too, but they figured it out. Same with this current batch of technology. They can learn just what they need to solve whatever problem they have or whatever it is they want to do, whether it's the fact that everyone has email but them and their friends are complaining, or they want to be able to FaceTime with their grandkids across the country, or they want to shop online! Whatever, it's all doable!
I found that approaching these clients with just ONE piece of technology at a time (email, or FaceTime, or whatever) made it so much easier for them to embrace it. And once they became comfortable with that one piece, they started getting interested in other pieces. But even if they didn't, that one piece that they wanted to learn made their life better.
