I just received notification that a very large senior citizen group in one of the most famous churches in New York City has accepted my offer to give a talk on embracing personal technology.
The reason I don’t want to mention the name of the church that has accepted my offer is because, until a date is set, it is not a done deal. This is my second initiative to spread the word to seniors that they shouldn’t miss out on the wonderment of personal technology. We are living in a time of tremendous innovation that we all can share in. I am bothered whenever I see people around my age resist.
That is why I started DigiDame. I am happy with the results so far, but I am not yet reaching a broad enough audience. I can only do that by offering other services. Speaking engagements are just one on a list of options.
The group that said yes has 3,000 members. Maybe only five will show up. That’s okay. I have a lot to learn. I know that some of the people in the audience will be a lot smarter than I am, even about technology. I am no technologist. I do, however, have an important message to deliver about which I am very passionate.
NOTE: Before I end, I just want to set the record straight about a quip I made yesterday about Anthony Weiner, the former Congressman. It was obviously a joke. I wasn’t expressing any negativity about him as a politician. I was more interested in writing something I thought was funny. Twenty-four hours later, though, and in this age of touchy political sensitivities, I want to make it clear that my brief reference was not intended as a reflection on his run for Mayor.
