Personal tech products desic
Dear Savvy Senior,
Can you recommend any tablets,
smartphones or computers that are
specifically designed for seniors? I
would like to buy a device for my
technology-challenged grandmother
so she can get online and keep up
with her grandkids better, but it
needs to be super simplified so she
can use it.
Holiday Shopper
Dear Shopper,
There are actually several new
tech products on the market today
that are designed specifically for
older boomers and seniors that are
unfamiliar or uncomfortable with
technology.
These devices come equipped
with simplified software, big, vivid
features, less clutter and better cus-
tomer support packages, which
makes them more appealing and
much easier to use than mainstream
devices. Here are several top senior-
friendly options to look into.

Department of Health will hold three
public information sessions and hear-

try, is found in filter socks, tank bot-
tom sludge, and scale that forms
inside well pipes and equipment.
Informational meetings will begin
at 5:30 p.m., with the official com-
