Elders’ society April 18, 2007

I was laying on the couch this evening waiting for the dinner to be cooked, with Francesca (my baby) sleeping in my arms in the shading lights of my livingroom suring sunset letting the mind run free while this idea literally hit me: my father barely met his grandparents, I lost my grandparents (my father’s side) when I was 6 - and have really few images of them - and lived my life till now with just two grandparents (my mother’s side, mathematically).

Francesca has a total number of 87 grandparents: HUGE!

  • My parents
  • Barbara’s (my wife) parents
  • My grandparentsmother
  • Barbara’s grandparents

Well, we do live in a society were elder people rule (and they usually have the money savings of a whole life)! Are you ready about this? I actually don’t think so: sites designed for the youngster, text written in very small characters, geek only interaction. That’s not the way if you dare to have mass numbers dude.

    Yeah, it’s true.
    Elderly people must still be fully integrated into the ICT tools and services available to all of us, but for next generation of elderly people all things should run better.

    About this arguments I suggest to give a read to what Vito di Bari writes in his latests book titled “Il futuro che già c’è (ma ancora non lo sappiamo)” that also speaks about these interesting scenarios in the digital life of elderly people.
