Technology can be very intimidating to a senior citizen, therefore it is very important to help them fill accustomed to the numerous changes going on around them. A younger person will adapt to the changes in technology a lot faster than a senior citizen. A senior citizen will have to learn to step out of their environment and embrace change. With that being said, whether it is high tech Digital Hearing Aids or a wheel chair, technology is focusing on bringing change to senior citizens lifestyle.
The Nintendo Wii game has several games targeted for senior citizen. These games allow them to work on their hand and eye coordination. The games include bowling and tennis, the best part about playing games is that a senior citizen will not have to leave their home, making this especially a must-have for those who are not able to leave the home because they may be wheelchair-bound or have lack of transportation. This piece of technology will allow them to get exercise within the confines of their home.
Cell phones are also catching on to the fact that senior citizens a little extra help. They are now making cell phones with larger numbers on the keypad; this will make it easier for an elderly person to see the numbers.
The newest thing for senior citizens is using the internet to research products marketed towards them, in order to do this they must learn how to navigate around the Internet. I found this especially helpful when looking for Hearing Aids reviews.There are classes available especially for senior citizen to teach them how to use the online features available to them.
