AARP Exposed the Problem. We Drive the Solution.

AARP spent three years documenting how America is failing adults 50+ with technology. The research is airtight. But research doesn't train people. Programs do.

In this episode, Professor Brian McKinney breaks down the data AARP published and what 50+TechBridge is doing about it on the ground.

The numbers:
- 47% of workers 50+ want AI training. Only 10% got it.
- AI adoption among 50+ doubled in two years. Zero support.
- $7.7 billion lost to fraud. Up 60% in one year.
- 60% say tech isn't designed for them. Three years, no change.
- 19 million adults 65+ lack broadband. Federal programs gone.
- 40% are lonely despite 9 in 10 being on social media.
- 63 million caregivers. Zero training budget.

50+TechBridge is the grassroots community development response -- a hybrid tech-and-touch approach to digital inclusion. We show up at senior centers, churches, libraries, and kitchen tables. 3X industry completion rate.

AARP exposed the problem. We drive the solution.

This is Part 1 of a 10-part series: What AARP Found But Nobody Told You.
