It is true that aging slows down and limits activity and mobility, I know this as well as any one else approaching their golden years. Senior citizens today do not have to feel disconnected with the world however, because technology has made it easier than ever to connect with friends, and family as well as explore the world in a way not possible to the elderly of past generations.
The Internet affords people of all ages the ability to communicate effortlessly via email, Skype, Twitter, and many other social networks. It also allows everyone, including the elderly who may not otherwise be able to experience the word outside their home, to learn about new things, play games, stay active, and keep their mind sharp.
Even Seniors with physical limitations such as poor vision or motor skills can utilize the tools computer's put at out fingertips. With screen magnifiers, ergonomically designed mice, and other accessibility tools for the elderly, people of all ages can reap the benefits of the Internet.
I love to stay in touch, network, and learn new things via the Internet, and my mother does as well. I am so thankful that the Internet has opened up the world for people of all ages and abilities so that we can communicate an learn everyday.
