According to AARP, an estimated 62 percent of adults over the age of 70 have a smartphone. This group is larger among adults aged between 60 and 69, with an 81 percent rate of adoption. Technology has opened new worlds to America’s aging population, making it easier than ever to go shopping, visit family, and share their favorite photos, but technology comes with risk -- data privacy is essential to proper technology usage, and seniors are a primary target for attacks.
