When at home, I walk by the Best Buy Headquarters on my way to the coffee shop where I write nearly every day. It is common for Best Buy employees to hang out in the coffee shop and I catch snippets of their conversation. My attention automatically is captured when I hear a conversation related to technology.
I missed this. Best Buy sponsors Teen Tech Centers in multiple locations throughout the country and there are five in the Twin Cities. The story that led me to description of these tech centers was focused on teenagers helping older folks learn to use their phones and tablets. I understand the importance of the tech life-long learning needs of my age cohort, but I also like the emphasis in the piece I cite above which is on expanding how young people understand the use of technology.
Libraries, Apple stores, and now Best Buy offer programs to help everyone learn to use their devices.
