You didn't ask to live in a digital world. But here you are.

Your grandchildren are on video call. Your doctor wants you to use an app. Your bank has "gone paperless." And every time you pick up the phone, something unexpected happens.

Technology for Grandparents Who Would Rather Not is the book that finally treats you like the intelligent adult you are ? not a confused beginner who needs to be handed a list of steps to memorise. This is a real explanation of how modern technology actually works, why it works that way, and what to do when it doesn't.

Inside you'll find:

• Why your attitude matters more than your aptitude ? and the four mindset shifts that change everything
• Touchscreens, apps, the cloud, Wi-Fi ? explained clearly, without the jargon
• Video calls, messaging, and email ? how to use them without the headache
• The internet ? how to search well, evaluate what you find, and shop safely
• Scam-proofing yourself completely ? the most important chapter in the book, covering every major fraud type in detail and the psychology that makes even smart people vulnerable
• Your photos ? how to keep them safe, organise them, and share them beautifully
• Health technology ? wearables, telemedicine, medication apps, and medical alert systems
• Smart home devices ? the ones worth having and the ones that aren't
• Social media and staying connected ? on your own terms, not everyone else's
• Troubleshooting without panic ? a five-level system for fixing almost anything that goes wrong

You don't have to love technology. You just have to survive it ? and ideally, find a few things you genuinely enjoy. This book makes that possible.
