Aaryak Sinha is a founder and CEO of Senior Technology Foundation, a nonprofit humanitarian organization, since July of 2018. Aaryak is currently a senior in Alliance Academy of Innovation pursuing computer science and cyber technology. Aaryak has always lived with his grandparents and has seen them struggling with technology. Thus, he decided to help them with technology challenges from a very early age. Later, he partnered with some local adult care organizations and started providing them professional help on weekly basis. He has organized many workshops and seminars to train seniors on how to use technology which has become very prominent in today's society.
Though there is still a significant digital divide between younger and older Americans, more people over the age of 60 are discovering the benefits of technology. They are emailing, texting, Googling, and even using social media like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. And it is having a positive impact on their lives. Aging parents are communicating more with their family, reconnecting with old friends, keeping up with community developments, and even managing their health issues. So, if we can assist them in using this wonderful tool, why not?
