George Takei: Teaching tech to an older generation in AARP online series

Not content with being a beloved geek icon and a social media superstar, “Star Trek” actor George Takei is about to take on new frontier: bringing next-generation tech to an older set of Americans.

Takei is taking his own love of technology, and his distinctive voice, to the Web, where he’s anchoring an AARP series devoted to teaching older people about industry’s latest innovations. The series, “Takei’s Take,” will have 12 episodes and air every two weeks. The shows will be four minutes — “give or take,” Takei said — and will aim at not only at educating more people about technology trends, but also at presenting the information in such a way that viewers may want to adopt some of the ideas from the tech industry in their own lives.
