In this week’s Tech for Senior Educational Series (258A), I pulled together three practical segments from past shows and time-stamped them so you can jump right to what you need. We start with a look at different chatbots you should know about—what they’re good at, why they’re not all the same, and how I think seniors should approach them: curious, but careful. If you’re over 50 and you’re trying to get comfortable with AI, this is exactly the kind of “plain English” overview that helps you feel in control instead of overwhelmed. Next, I cover Google Lens, one of my favorite “I didn’t know my phone could do that” tools. It can help you identify objects, read and translate text, and get information just by pointing your camera—perfect if you’d rather show your phone something than type it out. We wrap up with a very real-life topic: handling Facebook friend requests. I walk through the common sense steps I recommend so you can stay social without opening the door to scammers, fake accounts, or people you simply don’t know.
