Tech-savvy grandma teaches fellow baby boomers how to use iPad

T

*PAWLEYS ISLAND, S.C. ? When you think of tech-savvy computer and iPad users, your mind doesn?t automatically go to the baby boomer generation. However, Sheila ?Grandma? Griffith is working hard to break that stereotype with her guide, ?Grandma Talks Tech: Baby Boomers Take to iPads, Too!? (ISBN 1480009393). Written for Baby Boomers and older, but just as user friendly for tweens, teens and Generation Xers, this guide breaks down the basics of one of Apple?s most popular products. iPads are quickly becoming a staple technology device, and with Apple?s newly released operating system, iOS 6.0, Griffith has taken the opportunity to explain how to get the full use out of the popular product. In a lighthearted and conversational manner, Griffith helps her mainly baby boomer generation audience understand how to use their iPads in the way they were designed to be used. Griffith has been working with computers for over 25 years and has experience working with other seniors. She currently teaches computer and iPad classes privately through a family-owned business and publicly through the Coastal Carolina University OLLI program. ?The iPad is an increasingly popular device that consumers of all ages and backgrounds are currently using,? says Griffith. ?iPads offer users entertainment as well as a way to connect with family and friends who they may not see often.? ?Grandma Talks Tech: Baby Boomers Take to iPads, Too!? is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
