A 73-year-old teaches other seniors to overcome their fears and embrace tech. She says they learn better from peers.

Technophile Anne Goldberg has become accustomed to formatting PowerPoint presentations in her career as a recruiter.

The guests loved the display and congratulated Golberg, then 61, on her digital prowess, which dates back to being an early adopter of computers in the 1980s. She thought nothing more of it.
