You all know how I love reading but lately, I’ve been busy with work and whatnot that I find it hard to set aside some time for my reading. In between allergy attacks – which I have yet to find out the trigger – and, which by the way, attacks morning and nights, my favorite reading times, of course, and running to and fro my everyday tasks, I’m deeply saddened [...]

If you Google the words “email safety”, notice that there are two age groups often warned about it: kids and seniors. It is because the risk of these groups getting abused over emails is quite rampant. Kids are usually curious beings and almost always curiosity clouds better judgment while seniors are usually trusting and, well, curious beings too so the fate they share is pretty much the same as always.

I have been to several social networking sites and I tell you, it ain’t easy to be private in these sites! No matter how you try to keep some things private, they will still end up showing somewhere else.

Or maybe, you feel revived just by writing down the things that make you happy, that is, your [...]

You would be amazed how seniors are now getting into online selling. Just consider the number of successful online stores out there that are operated and managed by seniors, particularly those who have just retired and enjoying the perks of retirement. It is a no-brainer actually, online selling indeed fits seniors to a tee. Why not? Online selling allow seniors to be able to control their working hours, work from [...]

Nowadays, if you would like to stay connected with your loved-ones, you must learn how to use the computer, particularly social networking sites. It may scare you at first, even discourage you as I admit, it can get a little confusing out there, unfortunately this seems like the only way to keep tabs on your family and friends especially with your grandkids! To my horror, I caught my granddaughter the [...]

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 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.
