Teach your loved ones how to use technology to make their lives easier<\/p><\/div>\n

Evolving technology can present challenges for all of us.\u00a0 If you currently have a senior parent, you are old enough to remember a time before cell phones were ubiquitous, when you needed a floppy disk in order to save information from one computer and place it on another, and cassette tapes were the norm when listening to music.\u00a0 What did you think the first time you heard someone was \u201cdoing away with their land line,\u201d when you saw a tiny USB flash drive for the first time, or when your friends replaced their Walkmans with Discmans?\u00a0 If you approached any of this new technology with skepticism, it gives you a small idea of how your parents must feel with all of the technology constantly changing around them.<\/p>\n

However your aging parents may protest, there are definitely some pieces of technology you should work toward helping them embrace, for the sheer fact that these items can make their lives easier.<\/p>\n
