I require a press release as part of their project launch presentation and will post a few of them here. Below is the first. I stripped out the contact information that normally would come with a release.
Bringing technology to
older generations to keep them connected to friends and family
Auburn, WA, May 15, 2013– Today,
millions of senior citizens in the United States have not seen their families
or loved ones in over a month. Many older people today do not believe
technology is for them; however in our rapidly changing world that is
unfortunately just not true. Technology can help reduce loneliness by providing
access to invaluable online resources and the ability to keep in touch better
with friends and family.
“Generation Connection inspires older people to use
technology, and in doing so, delivers digital training to open a host of
opportunities, like reconnecting with loved ones or pursuing hobbies.” – Jared
Eades
Generation Connection is a group of students in the
Information Technology and Systems Bachelor of Science program at the
University of Washington Tacoma. They wanted to give back to their community by
applying some of their technological talents. After many ideas were
brainstormed they decided the most rewarding project they could do was to help
teach the seniors in their community. Generation Connection found an assisted
living facility (Wesly Homes) where they could teach the seniors there how to use
the technology around them and show them that technology is for them too!
“We greatly appreciate what Generation Connection has done
here. Not too many people would take the time to do for us, what you have done
for us.” Millard
Located at the University of Washington, Tacoma, Generation
Connection was founded in 2013. Generation Connection is the best company that
offers technical assistance to elderly people in order for them to communicate
with their loved ones thru the use of technology.
