Why TechTies Matters
At TechTies, we believe that digital literacy is more than a skill - for seniors, it is the first chance to form meaningful connections with loved ones, and the gateway to confidence, community, and new opportunities of health. But for many seniors, these opportunities are rare. Many feel socially disconnected with family and loved ones in their senior centers, unable to video call, or even send a text.
We're here to change that.
Not everyone gets support they need.
Only 50% of seniors receive the adequate help the need
Social isolation and depression from the digital gap
Nearly 1 in 4 older adults report feeling isolated or lonely
Internet use helps improve senior's social isolation
Study shows a 33% reduction with feelings of lonliness after internet use

“I learned how to use video calls—and now I can see my twin grandchildren, who are five years old, growing up 13 hours away. It’s like I’m part of their lives again.”
