Seniors on Computers:   Prescription for the Future

We have been encouraging senior citizens to make use of computers and the Internet for a long time. The possibility that many of us will live to 100 years of age is greater than it has ever been in human history. In view of these findings it is ironic that those of us who have reached the age 65 milestone were raised in a society that believed 65 was the beginning of the end. Our new understanding of wellness and health advances leads us to understand that 65 is actually just the end of the beginning!  We are just beginning to really appreciate the use of technology to maintain quality of life in aging, assisted living and aged care.  Assistive technology will be of particular interest to our readers.
