Si llama la línea directa de Senior Planet (888-713-3495) quizás termine hablando con Nita Flores. Nita es una residente de Brooklyn y aficionada a la ciencia ficción, que aporta a su trabajo en la línea directa una gran pasión por ayudar a las personas mayores a adoptar nuevas tecnologías con paciencia.
¿Qué es lo que más le gusta de trabajar en la línea directa?
Me gusta hablar con personas que quieren aprender nuevas habilidades y crear comunidad. Disfruto ver el progreso que muestran nuestros participantes. Entre más hablamos con ellos, más vemos cómo progresan en su relación con la tecnología. Me da una sensación de satisfacción y éxito.
Cuando empecé a trabajar en la línea directa, había un participante en específico que había batallado mucho con su teléfono inteligente. Entre más llamadas hacía a la línea directa para pedir nuestra ayuda, más podía ver cómo este participante se sentía cada vez más cómodo utilizando las diferentes funciones del teléfono inteligente. Cada vez que respondía una llamada suya, sentía felicidad absoluta porque sabía que iba a ver cuánto conocimiento había adquirido y cuánto crecimiento había logrado.
¿Cuáles son sus consejos favoritos cuando se trata de aprender tecnología nueva?
“Tómate tu tiempo y sé gentil contigo mismo” es el mejor consejo que puedo dar. Cuando se trata de aprender algo nuevo, especialmente tecnología, es importante darse el tiempo para aprender, hacer preguntas, y ser gentil con uno mismo durante el proceso de aprendizaje. No ser demasiado duro consigo mismo si no aprende rápidamente. Todos aprendemos a nuestro propio ritmo.
La tecnología avanza y cambia rápidamente, por lo que es importante no desanimarse si no siempre se está al tanto de las últimas actualizaciones tecnológicas. Con el tiempo, todo es posible.
¿Cuáles son algunos de sus pasatiempos fuera del trabajo?
Tengo una pódcast llamada Sci-Fi Queens, donde hacemos reseñas de libros de ciencia ficción, promovemos otros pódcasts del género, destacamos a mujeres que trabajan en el mundo de las ciencias y hablamos de todo tipo de temas relacionados con la ciencia ficción. También disfruto leer, practicar artes marciales Muay Thai y mantenerme ocupada.
¿Qué significa para usted “envejecer con actitud”?
Creo que, para mí personalmente, se trata de hacer las cosas que amas y que quieres hacer, sin preocuparte por la edad, y de no permitir nunca que la edad defina lo que podemos hacer o aprender.

Pam Hugi es la Gerente de comunidad y promoción de Senior Planet. Con sede en Brooklyn, es escritora colaboradora de este sitio.

My name is Arturo Avila and I’m interested in some of the classes you offer. But I have a problem with the time you offer them. Because I live in Los Angeles, and you are in Brooklyn. I would like to talk about this issue with someone of your organization to see if we can find the best time to take some of the classes
