I'm
Anne Goldberg
, a 73-year-old author and lifelong learner who believes that technology shouldn't be intimidating-it should be empowering. I wrote
The Ultimate Guide to Smartphones for Seniors
, titled
Take This Phone and Shove It! A Frustrated Senior's Guide to Smartphones
, to help older adults move from tech frustration to digital confidence with patience, humor, and heart.
After struggling with smartphones myself, I realized that many seniors felt the same way-lost, overwhelmed, and ready to "shove" their phones in a drawer. That's why I created lessons that are
clear, friendly, and easy to follow
, covering both
iPhone and Android
devices. From sending text messages and making video calls to taking photos, using apps, and staying safe online, my step-by-step approach turns confusion into confidence and makes learning
stress-free-and even fun
.
But my mission goes beyond teaching technology. It's about reminding people that
age should never define what we can achieve
. We are
old enough to have a past and young enough to have a future(TM)
. Through encouragement, real-life understanding, and a touch of humor, I help seniors stay connected with family, friends, and the world-proving it's never too late to learn, grow, and embrace something new with joy.
