Well, it doesn’t really have to be an income generating business for seniors to take advantage of these awesome online tools; it can also be a venture, or a cause you’ve been trying to raise awareness of or perhaps a project you’re working on such as an extensive family tree or simply a way to connect with your loved-ones. Whatever it is, it is still good to know some online [...]

I know you guys knew I love books. They are my solace, my escape, when things get tough. They are my friends, giving me advices where I need them and of course, they give me unbiased opinion of things that are happening and those that are yet to come. If there is one thing I won’t be able to live without, it would be books, good books, that is. I [...]

I just love the notion that seniors are now moving forward even after retiring from fulltime work. It’s not all about money, you know. However, I must admit that money plays a really huge part on why seniors are now opting to work even after retirement. Whether it’s trying to make life a little more comfortable or perhaps make yourself a bit busier as retired life can be boring, you [...]

I won’t even dare say that seniors are computer illiterate and wouldn’t know the difference between a computer mouse and a house rat because that will definitely contradict the study that shows boomers to be the fastest growing group in terms of new Facebook users. Interesting right? Well, I am not surprised as I have 3 fellow bloggers well on their 60s and about 50% of my class in middle [...]

Who says seniors need to go out there, to a place called jungle, with wild animals fiercely competing for a coveted position, just to get a job? Do you still have what it takes to land a job considering the fact that you might injure yourself in doing so? Kudos to those who still have it in them—the fighting spirit, but for those seniors who have already thrown their hands [...]

I bet there was a time in your life when you went in early for a doctor’s appointment only to be greeted by an awfully long line of people waiting to be called. Or perhaps that time when you just would like to have your prescription refilled and the doc’s secretary put you on the waiting lounge for God-only-knows how long, seated on that totally-unkind-to-your-back kind of plastic bucket chair!

Don’t get me wrong, this old lady loves computing life to death! My computer’s the first thing I greet in the morning and it happens to be the only thing that sends me off to bed every night! I won’t even know where I’ll be without my computer or at the very least, a gadget to connect me to the rest of the world a.k.a the internet. When I’m home [...]

To kick-start the New Year, we are off to discussing one of my favorite subjects: online store. Online stores are really simple in principle and it works both ways for sellers and consumers however, it can get really confusing setting up one since there are about thousands of “e-commerce gurus” out there claiming to have the “secret formula” to your online store success. We, seniors, should not be fooled by [...]

Your senior may not be aware yet of how a computer can change the way they live their lives or they are not ready for it just yet which will explain the resistance you are most likely to encounter when discussing a computer with a senior, especially those who never had any experience with it whatsoever. As a caregiver, you probably know how important a computer is to a household, [...]

Gone are the days when you go from one company to another just to apply for mobile and internet plans. Back then, these two come in separates. Two plans, two bills, two different services. For a person who works departmentalized, this is a good thing since you’ll be able to fix a thing without doing any changes on the other one. However, as technology advances, so does these plans and [...]
