Accelerated by the pandemic, so much of getting things done in today’s world is via digital. Sadly, us senior citizens tend to fall behind in this brave new world. Our much-loved younger generation, although willing to help (sometimes), so often explain things far too fast for us to learn a new skill and we end up feeling like digital numpties!  This is a coaching programme aimed at helping seniors understand a vital but small part of the new digital world, but more importantly to help them to find greater happiness through learning in good company with lots of laughs. Skills will grow, friendships will blossom, and we will have fun together.   T he group will decide which skills they need, but here are a few areas that would make sense to learn.

The reason why To survive in today's world you need to be digital savvy, and the harsh reality is many seniors struggle in this area. They can often do the basics, but are rapidly being left behind due to the pace of tech change! Seniors often encounter digital challenges due to evolving technology and complex interfaces.

This morning I woke up to an invasion of my WhatsApp screen, well slight exaggeration it was a floating circle, and as a curious person I had to click on it! Yes, Meta have assumed I want another AI tool and so I consulted my Favourite AI, CoPilot (not biased in any way!) and asked a few questions. Q: What's that blue dot on my WhatsApp Screen? That new blue circle on WhatsApp is the Meta AI shortcut—a chatbot integrated into the app that can answer questions, generate content, and provide recommendations. It’s Meta’s version of an AI assistant, similar to ChatGPT, and has recently rolled out in the UK. Q: Is it any good? Meta AI on WhatsApp has been met with **mixed reviews**. Some users appreciate its ability to answer questions, generate content, and provide recommendations, but others find it **intrusive** and frustrating because it **cannot be removed**.   Critics say it **misunderstands queries**, contradicts itself, and lacks the refinement of other AI assistants like C...
