Teen Tech Guru Assists Seniors
The technology we use to gather information and connect with others is more important than ever in this time of pandemic, and one Florida teenager is helping seniors in his community catch up.
Sam Friedman, a 17-year-old high school student in West Palm Beach, Florida, has always been the tech-savvy member of his family, helping his aunts, uncles, and grandparents with everything from phones to televisions to computers.
Over time, Friedman realized that there were many other seniors in his community who didn’t have somebody like him to help them with their technical difficulties. In an effort to address this need in his community, he founded South Florida Tech for Seniors in 2019.
South Florida may have ambitions of being the next center of high-tech innovation, writes Nova Southeastern University's chief innovation officer, but key pieces are missing from the formula that will drive the region to be the next Silicon Valley.
Recently, Miami has positioned itself as the newest tech hub, and the hype focuses on big names, Florida’s business-friendly environment and the area’s responsiveness to incoming tech companies.
