TECHNOLOGY HELPFUL FOR OLDER ADULTS AGING AT HOME

Technology cannot replace face-to-face human interaction, friendly human relationships, but what it can do is connect you by video and email to friends and family and even strangers who have the same interests as you do.

Additionally, it can relieve boredom by providing movies, books, research, playing games on a tablet or computer, etc.

Several companies have now made tablets and computers that are especially easy for non-techie people to use. Some even provide unlimited free technical support. Some companies which offer unlimited free tech support with support people especially trained to interact with older people are:
  1. Tablets
