A short YouTube video by Sandra Abrams introducing blockchain/Web3 to older adults. Abrams reframes intimidating terms like “NFT” as simply documentation on the computer, explains peer-to-peer transactions and digital currencies, and promotes her curriculum “Web 3 for seniors” and the community space “Onboard 60” as safe resources for seniors.

Nft. Those three letters are scary huh? They scared me. So let's not use them. Let's just talk about documentation on the computer. You know the Internet, you started out by looking up information, emailing your friends, getting on Facebook, putting pictures up of your families. Now you buy stuff from Amazon with your credit card. Well now we have another thing happening. It's called blockchain technology. An advanced way of using the computer. Advanced into where you own your information, you can do peer to peer transactions. It's just different. It's not scary. I think it's scary because we see different monetary systems. It's not just US dollars. In fact America is talking about a central digital currency, another monetary system. Same thing but different. Web 3 for seniors is my curriculum. Let me help you learn. Onboard 60 has a lot of real resources to help you. It's a senior citizen, safe, community driven space for you. Join me won't you?
