About Us

Hi! I’m Bob McCluskey. Basically, I am a teacher. In fact, I’ve taught every level of school we have in North America, from preschool to university!   And, yes… that includes kindergarten, first grade, second grade, third grade and… well, you get the point!

In 1977 I moved from K-12 to the college sphere. Since my university degrees are primarily related to Psychology, they put me to work teaching Psychology to college freshmen and sophomores. As I have personally grown older, I have become more and more interested in teaching older folks. In recent years I have developed and taught numerous courses for senior citizens, including a senior citizen Psychology course!

During my years as a college teacher and administrator, I became intensely interested in technology, especially computer technology and telecommunications. When I “retired,” I had lots of requests from my peers to help them learn to use technology to improve their quality of life, and the quality of life of others. I began teaching courses in computing for seniors, which grew into more courses in digital photography, computer networking, and the broader uses of technology.

As a senior myself, I am excited about recent developments in the fields of technology, especially as related to aging and the enjoyment of it.  For years I accepted the general wisdom that aging was a process of mental decline, and the myth that “You can’t teach old dogs new tricks.”  I have learned from  my research and my peers that this is simply not true! Our brains not only continue to grow as we age, we can  use them to do lots of things to improve our lives. Your later years can be your best years and, well, that’s what this website is all about! It is an ever-growing and serious resource for senior citizens, those who care for seniors and those who aspire to become seniors!

As I said in the beginning, I am a teacher. Here I will teach you about research, products and services related to aging and  technology.  I hope you are as excited and encouraged as I am about this journey!
