Kerala’s Elderly Up Their Technology Skills, Thanks To The ‘Smart Seniors’ Initiative!

A flurry of questions about Google searching, Facebook friending, WhatsApp forwarding and more shot from all corners of the hall at Karuna Communications office in Tripunithura by senior citizens, who use iPhone and Android phones.

The ‘Smart Seniors’ initiative by ResPublica Consulting and Karuna Communications for empowering and equipping senior citizens to master smartphone usage saw around 30 elderly lapping up every bit of information shared by the session conductor, Ajay John Gray.

“Everybody has smartphones with them, but they hardly know how to use it except to make a call. These are all retired people, whose lives would be made much easier if they are equipped with the knowledge to make bill payments and hiring cabs all by themselves. This is just an attempt to make them independent in using their own phones,” Gray said.
