## Senior Citizens are the Future of Smart Technology

In the Spring of 2019, [Joerg Geissler](https://www.linkedin.com/in/joerg-geissler/) and I began thinking of a set of helpful exercises for seniors who had little or no experience with the growing number of online learning, shopping, and government services available.

Before COVID [we created a 6-part course](https://warrenlainenaida.net/workshops-coaching/digital-skills-for-smart-seniors/) and made this available at local community colleges and senior residences. After a few classes, COVID arrived and everyone stayed at home.

This material shouldn’t sit in a dusty hard drive, I am making it available in the hopes that they are helpful to anyone – senior citizen or not – who is still not as digitally savvy as they would like.

Our **participation in society**, regardless of age, demands access to the internet and a certain level of **digital competency**. It is with that goal in mind that I am making this book available.

The Smart Seniors book is about **accessibility and safety**. It is about citizenship and relationships. Most importantly this book is about **collaboration and participation** in our digital society.
