Unusual and/or Special Needs Technology

thumb_154_BIGtrack-1I will look into technology designed to help seniors with hearing, sight and mobility impairments. I have very little knowledge in this field. After browsing the Internet for quite sometime, I found  an online Canadian company with a range of products . If  you look at the section showing the most popular products, you may find something of interest to you.

Go to https://www.specialneedscomputers.ca, they have a very large inventory.

On all topics covering special needs I would appreciate your advice. In other words if you have information that could be useful to some of my readers simply send me your observations and comments along with any corroborating links to websites covering the topic. I will post only information that I have verified and authenticated.

 

Computers, the Nitty-Gritty

In this blog category we will look at desktops and laptops. There are many types and not all are suitable for seniors. The first question to ask yourself is what are the activities you would like to do. Of course the assumption is that you have information on what most seniors enjoy doing. However not all of us have access to this knowledge. This means that one of the first blogs will be about current online activities enjoyed by seniors.

Who wants to keep buying computers. Do you have a vision or hearing impairment ? What devices are most suitable in this case. I will write about All of these issues.
