Inspiring Tech Confidence in Older Adults
We’re old enough to have a past and young enough to have a future!
This episode’s guest is the sensational tech-savvy dynamo you never knew you needed in your digital life: Anne Goldberg!
At 73, Anne has been on a mission since 2013 to help fellow seniors turn tech frustration into tech confidence.
Whether you're terrified of your smartphone or still calling the remote control "the clicker," Anne's got your back.
A former executive recruiter, devoted mom of two, and now the brains behind the brilliantly titled "Take This Phone and Shove It," Anne brings heart, humor, and a whole lotta patience to the world of tech education for older adults.
Her classes aren’t just lessons – they are lifelines to connection, confidence, and cognitive sharpness.
Anne had me howling out loud over this advice to older smartphone users who feel frustrated: watch YouTube videos featuring younger generations trying to use a rotary dial phone – they have no clue!
Buckle up, friends. Anne is about to plug you into some pro aging inspiration.

Anne Goldberg Bio/Intro
Anne Goldberg is a 73-year old teacher of technology to seniors since 2013. Over the years, Anne has taught group and private lessons in South Florida.
In another life, Anne spent 23 years as an executive recruiter both in New York and Florida, followed by ten years dedicated to raising her two beloved sons. In a synchronous series of events, Anne was guided to help seniors learn to use technology.
“Take This Phone and Shove It” is a compilation of Anne’s classes taught for more than eleven years. It’s about how smartphones help seniors to live better, stay connected with friends and family and improve cognitive skills. Since technology is such an important part of the future, being tech literate is an important part of all of our futures. But learning this requires patience, practice and a good sense of humor!
Anne’s goal over this decade-plus has always been to inspire seniors of any age to live life fully, embracing new knowledge and technology to stay current and connected. Because age is just a number and we are …old enough to have a past and young enough to have a future…!
