We can't expect all #OlderAdults to know what they need to get connected. So many of us are working collaboratively just like we are today @NCOA @NetInclusion @PewInternet along with local Area Agencies on Aging and Public Libraries.
"You can't just have pipes and wires in the ground. You can't even just rely on free access." Amy Huffman underscores how complicated real-world implementation and change is. The solutions exist, they just require support and investment! #AgeAction
Catherine is correct--#DigitalInclusion efforts are needed and taking place in many communities nationwide. If you aren't sure where to start check with your local Area Agency on Aging. #AgeAction
Catherin Spensley, MSW, LCSW encourages everyone interested in addressing this issue to start local! Start a tech council in your community, encourage open conversations with older friends and family members about technology. #AgeAction
Most organizations serving #OlderAdults got a crash course in teaching #DigitalSkills in 2020. Oasis has created a number of free resources to help you teach more of the people you serve: connections.oasisnet.org/
The rapid pace of change in technology means even older adults who are interested in engaging more online need more guidance than they expect. The digital access gap isn't going away! #AgeAction
