Welcome to The Silver Techie: Your Friendly Guide to the Digital Age!
Ever feel like technology is moving a mile a minute and you’re just trying to keep up? You’re not alone! Here at The Silver Techie, we understand that navigating the ever-changing world of tech can be frustrating, especially for those of us who’ve lived through the days of rotary phones and bulky CRT TVs.
That’s why we created this website – a welcoming space designed specifically for seniors 60+ who want to understand and embrace the amazing things technology can offer.
Who is The Silver Techie?
I’m Anthony Alarcon, and just like you, I’m a senior citizen with a thirst for knowledge. But unlike many tech gurus out there, I speak your language. I hold multiple tech certifications, advanced degrees in marketing and Human Services, and a deep understanding of the challenges faced by those of us who weren’t born into the digital age.
What can you expect to find here?
- Clear, concise explanations of tech topics like:
- Transferring data to a new phone
- Understanding Bluetooth, AI, and VR
- Making the most of smart homes and devices
- Even using computers and navigating the internet
- Easy-to-follow tutorials that walk you through everyday tech tasks step-by-step.
- Engaging podcasts that tackle a wide range of tech issues relevant to seniors.
- A safe space to ask questions! No tech question is too basic here. We’re all on this learning journey together.
The Silver Techie is your one-stop shop for everything tech-related for seniors. We’re here to empower you to feel confident and in control as you explore the exciting possibilities of technology. So, grab a cup of coffee, pull up a chair, and let’s get started!
