About this listen
In Episode 30, Barry and Bobby dive into practical tech tips for caregivers and families supporting older loved ones. The conversation starts with a surprisingly common question: how old is too old for a phone? Bobby walks through real-world experience upgrading his mom’s aging iPhone and shares what to expect when transferring data, handling SIM cards, and setting up a simpler device for rehab or assisted living.
Barry introduces a clever caregiving gadget called MemoryBoard — a digital display that shows photos, reminders, and messages for loved ones dealing with memory challenges. The episode wraps with a cautionary tale about AI spoof websites that mimic tools like Claude, reminding listeners to stay sharp online.
Short, practical, and packed with real-world takeaways for caregivers navigating modern tech.
