Bask Highlights World Backup Day to Help Seniors Digitize and Save What Matters Most
Bask Technology Inc., one of the nation's leading providers of managed tech services for seniors and small businesses, today announced that Tim Kapp has been appointed Vice President of Product. Kapp has more than two decades of consumer product marketing under his belt, including consulting for iconic brands such as AT&T and InterContinental Hotels Group.
Technology changes faster than older people can keep up. The latest Android or iPhone is entering the market shortly. Those who may have thought they just HAD the latest, are presented again with modest technological change and plenty of hype.
A recent research survey commissioned by Bask (a leading provider of tech services, advice and resources for seniors) found that 90% of seniors see personal relationships as important in maintaining a rich and long life – but 82% wouldn’t try online dating because of online security and privacy concerns. Further, many seniors don’t know how to effectively use technology to reach out to the ones they love.
To celebrate the month of love, we took a survey and created an infographic based on the results.
Let’s face it – technology plays a much larger role in our lives than many of us ever could have imagined. It provides countless improvements in entertainment, health, medicine, safety, and even dating.
“My 90-year-old father uses his computer for email and Facebook to stay connected with family, along with other devices that help him to safely live on his own,” says Jim Dunn, CEO of Bask, a technology service company based in the U.S. that specializes in computer electronics and device support to seniors.
Used properly, tech makes life better. It can help us in just about every way; it helps us remember the things we've done, the things we have to do, and the people we love.
If you’re over 50 and fortunate enough to still have parents, that in and of itself is pretty special. This part of our 2015 Holiday Gift Guide features some great tech gifts that might make their lives a little bit easier.
