"There's a fear that this isn't safe. You have to be honest with people nervous about engaging the digital world about safety." Paul Weiss, like many aging services network professionals, knows digital scams are a constant threat to older adults. #AgeAction

We can't expect all #OlderAdults to know what they need to get connected. So many of us are working collaboratively just like we are today @NCOA @NetInclusion @PewInternet along with local Area Agencies on Aging and Public Libraries.

[National Council on Aging @NCOAging]

"You can't just have pipes and wires in the ground. You can't even just rely on free access." Amy Huffman underscores how complicated real-world implementation and change is. The solutions exist, they just require support and investment! #AgeAction

[The Oasis Institute @OasisInstitute]

Catherine is correct--#DigitalInclusion efforts are needed and taking place in many communities nationwide. If you aren't sure where to start check with your local Area Agency on Aging. #AgeAction

[National Council on Aging @NCOAging]

Catherin Spensley, MSW, LCSW encourages everyone interested in addressing this issue to start local! Start a tech council in your community, encourage open conversations with older friends and family members about technology. #AgeAction
