We explore how technology is transforming grandparenting by enabling meaningful connections across distances. From video calls and online gaming to digital photo albums and messaging apps, technology offers endless opportunities for grandparents to stay engaged in their grandchildren's lives while creating lasting memories.
• Video calling platforms like FaceTime, Zoom and WhatsApp provide visual connections that make interactions feel personal
• Schedule regular, themed video calls and use large screens for a more immersive experience
• Online games such as Words with Friends or Mario Kart create fun bonding opportunities across generations
• Digital scrapbooks and shared albums through Google Photos or Apple offer real-time family memory sharing
• Messaging apps provide quick, casual daily communication complemented by emojis
• Social media platforms help grandparents stay involved while respecting privacy boundaries
• Balance technology with in-person visits for the strongest family connections
• Modern senior housing increasingly includes tech features that make staying connected easier
• The goal is using technology to strengthen relationships, not replace meaningful interaction
