Real stories that show how the power of a connected world is in the people it connects. Isolation and loneliness are as prevalent in today’s connected world, as ever before.
Perhaps no group feels this more intensely than our seniors. For them, ever evolving technology means ever increasing challenges and new ways to keep up.
To highlight the importance of technology in keeping families connected, we are excited to introduce Grandstories. We brought grandparents closer to their grandchildren by teaching them how to make stronger connections with the people who matter most.
