How are you able to use the INTERNET?!?! OMG

Old people and technology normally don't mix!! Faint I still have to constantly sometimes remind my mother how to copy & paste over the phone..I would never think of trying to teach my grandparents how to use a computer vomit
Probably the only reason is I've been using technology since before you were born, sonny! I was building and working on mainframes the size of a room before you were able to defecate without assistance! Wink

Also I've found technology usage is probably the single most important "treatments" in keeping my mental health up. It forces me to concentrate and connect conceptual ideas. It's constantly evolving and changing. And unlike decades ago the information is disseminated down to the users nearly instantaneously on demand via the internets! I don't have to go find a book or a trade journal to stay current on developments.

Plus the investment in technology is waaaaay cheaper than the cost of a nursing home!

I think with other "older" people there is an aversion to and fear with technology. Once they can overcome that obstacle, they can actually be equally productive as middle aged users.

Since when does a child need assistance to defecate? Huh



Last I checked, they always do it on their own, whether you're ready for it or not. laugh out loud
