Technology - It's Totally Not Just for Kids

I'm always happy to bust myths about technology and the 50-plus set and here's another one. New studies out today find those who are 65 plus are willing to embrace technology to allow them to age at home. This makes perfect sense, since 90 percent of people want to live at home as long as possible. Technology can monitor a person's physical condition, dispense medicines, or even provide a social outlet for folks who may be stuck at home.
While there are concerns about cost (as always when it comes to health care), people clearly recognize the value of technology in caregiving. Sounds like a new way to have some peace of mind and grapple with aging family members.
