I liked your story, Dr Broadly. Technology can be challenging for the elderly. Thank you for unfolding this important matter clearly and accurately, Mike. I like your approach to creating cognitive reserves using technology as a neuroplasticity tool.
Hi Dr. Broadly, I just saw and read your story. Being that you are here in the Cadillac of the Newsletter Universe tells me you are not afraid of anything! I do not know if I qualify as an “elderly” at 78, however, while I recognize and identify with several of your descriptions, I also know, like you, there is help. I bought one of Dr. Yildiz books and it helped me with needed information and encouragement. One thing that helps is “perseverance.”
I would encourage anyone who feels (like your “bad day” story above), to hang in there and wait another day. If you really want to write, eventually, the mechanics of how to put your thoughts on “paper” will come to you. Try and try and try again. Plus there is a little help from friends like Drs. Broadly and Yildiz!

Good sound advice Mike, much of which applies to younger age groups as well as seniors.
