Here's a screen shot of a video session I initiated with Jim Buie. (Click on it to see full size.) Imagine the possibilities of this technology to reduce isolation and depression among senior citizens. If a teenager, volunteer, nurse or other assistant learns to set up the equipment, an elderly person with impaired cognitive abilities, who has little hope of mastering a computer doesn't even need to type. He or she can simply look into the camera, watch the screen and enjoy visits with their adult children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, or far-flung friends and relatives -- even if they live thousands of miles away. Anyone with a high-speed Internet connection can learn to set up crisp and unlimited video and audio connections for free or at minimal cost.
Instead of staring for hours at boring television shows, senior citizens should have the opportunity to interact with real friends and family members in real time. As I visit warehouses for senior citizens, I think they should DEMAND the right to this video-conferencing technology. They have been warehoused for far too long!
Jim Buie and I, as well as other members of our virtual team around the U.S. are available to train you, your family, friends or caregivers to utilize these connections, to enhance relationshps between parents and adult children or grandchildren. Contact us. If you live outside the U.S. and would like to become part of our network, contact us as well!
