Elderly people are always keen to learn new things. But when it comes to technology, senior people are usually unsure and sometimes afraid to learn it.  So it is on the younger generation to make them well-versed with the latest technologies at their own pace.

Here are some of the best practices to make learning technology easy for seniors.
1) Explain the relevance before going on to detail.

2) Make positive feelings about social media.

3) Remove fears about Internet safety.

4) When Introducing New Tech Concepts, Build on Existing Knowledge.

5) Avoid Technical Words & Use Common Language.

6) Watch your pace.
