Seniors are getting "wired." Those 55 and over are the fastest-growing segment of the computer-buying public. More than 40% of adults 65 or older have a PC at home. Unbelievable as it sounds, an average retired senior who is online spends more time online than an average teenager.
Many seniors find that creating and uploading life their stories to the web is rewarding and enjoyable, whether at home, in a senior center, or a computer class. Often, capturing a senior's life story work brings a young family member with great computer skills together with a senior who has amazing life experiences.
Of course, most very elderly seniors won't have the computer skills to create their own life stories, but many caregivers, children and grandchildren have these skills and are willing to upload information. Everyone can benefit from the process of helping a senior reminisce about treasured life memories.
