When assisted senior living home The Preston of the Park Cities approached Owen Robertson to hold a course on crypto, NFTs, and the Metaverse for their residents, the 21-year-old didn’t expect how quickly they’d pick up on the complex topics.
The 21-year-old found that throughout the lecture, residents were mostly quiet as they learned about an industry that even the experts have trouble keeping up with, but in the end, he was left impressed with how fast some attendees picked up the complex topics. However, the idea for a lecture on crypto, NFTs, and the metaverse is a relatively new addition to their lineup.
“We wanted to bring in an expert to provide a basic understanding of these concepts while also making them aware of the dangers technology can bring, how to identify internet scams looking to take advantage of seniors, and how to improve overall digital security.” "After hearing the lecture and my recommendations, the residents concluded the risk outweighs the potential benefits, which was the point of the class," he added.Despite Robertson's good intentions, the reaction on Twitter was somewhat polarized, with some airing concerns that he may have been swindling the senior citizens, while others, who were there, were won over.
