I think this is so great. Before my grandmother passed, we set up a computer at her house, where we had dinner once a week. When we came over to dinner, she would have one of us check her email and read it to her even though all of the messages were from us, and were a week old! It was a novelty to her, but I’m glad to hear seniors are using the web to stay active and “tuned in†on their own.
When my Mom first got set up on email a few years ago, my brothers and I used to send her quick notes. She’d get so excited that she’d pick up the phone and call us to let us know she’d gotten the emails! These days, she gets so much email that she has about five different accounts.
It seems like seniors are also getting into social networking! For example, Senior City is a site solely for seniors, to enable folks to meet without being bugged by teens like on myspace and facebook!
