Jobs at Near Technology

1 in every 5 Americans will be in the retirement age by 2030, and the current generation of aging seniors rely on technology to stay connected. Though they are enthusiastic about technology, most elders need guidance and support in using and maintaining their devices. The pandemic highlighted the importance of technology in helping older adults stay connected with their loved ones — a boon to their mental health and to maintain their cognitive abilities. However, most retirement communities do not have dedicated resources to support their residents with their technology needs. Consequently, they were overwhelmed by the demand at the start of the health crisis. Staff who are already notoriously overworked often have to moonlight as tech support. Residents whose family members live away do not have anyone to turn to for help.
