Episode Description

Technology has allowed us to stay connected more than ever — so why are so many older adults lonelier than ever?

On this episode of Aging Forward, tech expert Scott Lien explains how technology designed by young people for young people can leave older adults behind. He highlights exciting new technologies that help seniors stay independent longer, how to stay safe from scams and when the old-fashioned way of doing things still might be better.
