Opening the Doors to Technology for Older Donors

But won’t tomorrow’s older generation be well-versed in the use of technology? Not necessarily — there’s the physical side to consider. Smartphones are fiddly to use, and screens can cause eyestrain. Plus, you have a strange device called a mouse to get used to, and if you use a PC, you need basic knowledge of how Windows works when things don’t quite go as planned. It’s like when my dad taught me to drive: I just wanted to get in the car and drive, but he came from the generation when you had to have basic knowledge of how a car works in order to drive one, just in case you needed to fix it.
