Words of wisdom from Betty White. #MondayMotivation

Technology - the good, the bad & the ugly...we love it and hate it... but one thing is clear, technology is here to stay! The COVID 19 crisis has taught us just how important it is for elder adults to be techno-connected! Zoom, Facetime, Telehealth, video chat and other tools have become part of our daily existence and made major differences in how we have managed during this troublesome time. Downloading, troubleshooting and re-booting have become daily fodder. The OC Aging ...Services Collaborative and OC Strategic Plan for Aging want to know more about how technology has impacted our community. Help us create better tools and connections with elder adults by inviting them to take this survey "Technology and You in 2020." Their participation is vital to helping us improve programs for our future, here in the OC. Please share this and encourage your elder adult friends to participate. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/tech-and-you-2020 See more
