Grandma the "Techie"
Thanks to a project of the Queens Health Coalition (QHC) entitled: Junior-Senior Partnership, 15 young adults met with 15 older adults to swap information on communications. For the oldsters’ part, they reminisced about pre-high tech days: no cell phones, no computers, no text messaging. As one senior recalled: “In those days, you looked for a quarter and a pay phone; Google was just a dream and instantly knowing what your friend was up to, was unheard of and would be thought of as more information than you needed to know.” The teens were aghast! To them, a world without immediate communications; the need to own a library card and not sharing your every thought, every minute seemed, well, primitive.
Most of the older adults did admit that regardless of the simplicity and charm of “the good old days” they would gladly take on the trappings of this “new tech age” except for one problem: despite countless gifts of BlackBerrys, PCs and Sidekicks from their sons and daughters, few really understand how to work them.
As Phyllis Shafran, Executive Director of QHC noted: “This is where the great value of the Junior-Senior Partnership is seen. While the teens welcomed the stories of surviving time-delayed information and the art of personal communications, the seniors left that day with email accounts set up, learning to Twitter and how to find the side effects of their new medication on Google.”
The next Junior-Senior Partnership program is being planned for mid-March. Participants receive a stipend, a MetroCard and refreshments. For more information call Moona at 718-762-0346 extension #13 or Lorena at extension #12.
