Teaching tech to elderly people is hard—many struggle with gestures, apps, or even turning their phones on. I built a course from scratch, covering every step from unboxing to apps. Along the way, I learned about video production, Android’s quirks, and marketing struggles.

Another thing that's difficult, is that phones that were advertised as old-person-friendlly, physically were not. Black buttons on black background, etc. Maybe this sotuation has improved.

Make sure the old-person in your life has hand lotion on. Touch screens are not tuned to their drier skin.
