Seniors are getting more and more adept at using technology.  It was great to see that Alliance on Aging is offering free one-on-one technology training classes for seniors age 60+ every Tuesday from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., by appointment only.  You can learn the basics on how to use your devices – smartphones, tablets, Chromebooks, computers, and laptops.  The training is provided by Loaves Fishes and Computers at 236 Monterey Street in Oldtown Salinas.  For an appointment, call 831-646-4931 or 831-512-1330.  This is a national trend.  The Wall Street Journal recently ran a story about senior communities and assisted living facilities offering similar training.
