Computer Wizardry

Sometimes things that seem so simplistic can be very puzzling to many of our senior friends. We need to remember that they have not grown up in a computer-society. In fact, the whole computer phenomenon is a recent addition to daily life.
I am no expert when it comes to all things digital. That being said, there have been at least a dozen times when I have asked an older adult if their computer is working properly or if they are having any challenges. Very often, I learn their are issues. And, those issue (to my senior friends) mean their computer just does not work! I often ask to have a look and learn the trouble is something as simple as a minimized window or software needing updates. A recent instance left my friend extremely frustrated because she could not find her search window. In fact, she had somehow dragged it off to the side and it was hidden with the exception of a tiny corner I noticed.

If you have an older friend, ask them about their computer. See if they need help. Computers can be pathways to entertainment and a way for seniors to battle isolation. Usually their “broken computer” is a simple fix to those of us with a little more computer experience. Otherwise, they might take their machine to the guy below!

About Adam Seever, Owner

The son of two social workers, Adam grew up in Chicago and lived there for over 30 years. He began his career at a Chicago-based marketing services agency determined to make his mark in the industry. In 1997 Adam moved to Atlanta while working for the Coca-Cola Company, where he spent 8 years in their sports marketing division. Adam left Coke in 2001 to join Clear Channel Entertainment and later went on to work both domestically and internationally for the World's largest sports agency, International Management Group. Adam eventually worked as a consultant and spearheaded numerous high profile projects including the building of Coke’s iconic Coke bottle at Turner Field in Atlanta. While Adam always felt lucky to have worked in the exciting world of marketing, he also felt the need to participate in something with more of a connection to the community. That quest eventually led him to earn his CNA degree and become an owner of Caring Companions of Atlanta, LLC.
Adam is married and he and his wife have two younger children. The family shares their home with two cats and two hermit crabs. The kids are working hard to get mommy and daddy to add a puppy...time will tell! They live in Sandy Springs and are active in the senior community.
