Our Tuesday program is brought to you in conjunction with JCC Chicago.
Tuesday, April 22—Community Days: Alexa, Siri, and Other Digital Assistants. Imagine having a personal assistant that helps you not only with daily tasks but also with staying safe and independent as you age! Join Tony LaPalio of Senior Tech Support for an exciting presentation on Alexa, Siri & Other Digital Assistants. We’ll explain digital personal assistants like Alexa and Siri, and why they’re becoming essential tools for older adults without lifting a finger. Want to adjust the lights, lock the doors, or turn up the heat? Just ask Alexa! You’ll also discover how these assistants provide endless options for entertainment and education. With the power of smart home technology, aging in place is easier and more secure than ever before. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how Alexa, Siri, and other digital helpers can be your partners in living confidently and independently!
