Welcome to the inaugural episode of Aging Rewired! In our first conversation, host Sheila Solomon dives into the world of aging and technology with guest Tom Kamber, Executive Director of Older Adults Technology Services (OATS) from AARP. Tom shares the origin story of OATS flagship program Senior Planet and explains the meaning behind our slogan: Aging with Attitude™. Sheila and Tom share their thoughts about getting older, what it will take to change ageist narratives and stereotypes that still linger today, innovation (and intimidation) in tech, sexy fast-food ads, and so much more!
