Special Guest CEO Scott Lien of GrandPad – Technology for Seniors

We recently had a listener call in that had a dilemma. Jim told us he was 71 and not very Tech Savvy however he was still able to go to the Green Valley Public Library and will an email set up by his grandchild he could email relatives and keep in touch. Jim did not have a Smartphone, nor a Laptop, Desktop or Internet Connection at his home.

With the recent closings of Public Libraries, Jim had no access to the Internet and now no way to reach out via Email to relatives. I talked with Shawn DeWeerd and we decided to take a look at the GrandPad which is geared at Senior Users. We reached out to the Company and within the hour were able to get CEO Scott Lien to visit with us to share with you some of the features of The GrandPad. We learn the 8 inch table is fine tuned for the Senior User and features a 4G LTE Connection provided by Consumer Cellular for using the GrandPad just about anywhere.

In this Segment, our Interview with Scott, we learn of the Ease of Use, the features and why this can be a great solution for staying in touch. We aren’t able to get the entire screen in on our Video Interview but it does give you a great view of what the product can do.

In our closing of this information filled segment, Scott Lien reminds us of these times where we are staying home and reminds us to connect with our older family members and friends, Some great advice. For more information and demonstrations, check out the Official Website https://www.granpad.net
