Plain guides to technology for older adults
Most writing about AI for older people is either breathless or condescending. This site tries to be neither. It explains what these devices actually do, what they cost, and who they suit — and says plainly when something is not worth the money.
Where I own and use a device myself, I say so and tell you what it is like to live with. Where I do not, the page sticks to what the manufacturer publishes and what independent sources have established. You will always be able to tell which is which.
