Perhaps allowing them to join steemit could be a solution? Of course this would probably need to be done by the help of the retirement home and the personnel there. Maybe for example they can use touch screen and pen to write the posts . I think a lot of the knowledge and experience of elders is not valued anymore, and this could be a channel where their stories truly can be appreciated !
Oh gosh, of course that would be fantastic haha! Yep, getting them set up and showing them how to post... then they could just write and share their experiences. Fab idea.
Surely there are companies building technology solutions for senior care facilities? It would be great to include Steemit in that package.
I also think there are plenty of people building these technologies, i think this is a way technology can be adopted my more elderly and it would be cool to have more elderly people on steemit and listen to their point of view, in the end experience is the most important thing when it comes to learning
As someone born in 1950 I thank you for that encouragement. I joined steemit last month, encouraged by my son in law, and I just love the writing, and sharing of thoughts but my biggest problem is getting to grips with the computer and computer speak, let alone steemit terms and bitcoins. What's that all about??
It seems like you are doing well, I just checked your blog!. Well there is a learning curve for everyone no matter the age with steemit. But once getting a hand of it it is really captivating. There is a lot of bitcoin talk here and other crypto currencies and there are terms that are hard to understand, I focus more on other post material though where my interest lay.
Thank you. Absolutely!
