Technology for Seniors - Gadgets for Geezers - "Nana-Technology"

The Jitterbug

Hello Fellow Geezers,


Here is a low down of some of the newest tech products available for seniors. The first one is a cell phone called the Jitterbug. The buttons and the display are bigger to help you see what your doing. With so many of us losing our site - it would be great to make it easier to see the numbers on the phone. The phone has a basic phone book without all the gadgets and extras that the Blackberry or Nokia's do - but most of those bells and whistles aren't really important.


Brain Age - Yes, Video Games aren't just for the kids. Brain Age is a way for seniors to keep sharp - well that is the underlying belief. The product is designed to keep aging minds active. The game consol is easily used and you won't require your 3rd grader to help you turn it on. The game provides sodoku, drawing, puzzle solving and basic cognitive skill problems.


Verve Steinway Edition - A digital hearing aid which will adjust to the level of music. The unit will let you know by voice when it needs service.


E-Pill - Like a gumball machine on a timer, this pill dispenser keeps you from forgetting to take your pill. Machine is set to call for help if you don't remember to take your pill for a time.


The Presto is even cooler - This printer will allow you to receive emails from people even though you don't have or like using the computer. Presto will just print messages received from your grand kids or kids with out any work.

RE: Reverse Mortgage

The Pitfalls of getting a Reverse Mortgage. So much has been made of this practice and whether its good or bad. I have heard so many differing reviews - and given the recent subprime issues in the US, it looks like a lot of Seniors are in a great position. Their homes are returning more value to them now then it it could have years ago.
