Technorati Profile

Digital Grandparent. An apt description for a baby boomer who came to technology late and took to it like a shopaholic to a Macy's sale. For three years, Maryan Pelland has built her personal brand, "Digital Grandparent" helped by terrific Web sites like DemystifyingDigital, which christened her Digital Grandparent. Pelland is a freelance writer/blogger specializing in digital technology for boomers. She covers women's issues and grandparenting, too. Check her out at Chicago Examiner.
Ten years ago, Maryan Pelland was not digital. She could login to chatrooms and send email. Now, this digital grandparent takes PCs apart and rebuilds them. She knows Windows inside and out, speaks Linux, and gives guru advice when asked. It was a long road, but she enjoys the heck out of her topics and editors know her as a savvy, thorough, accurate writer. |
