What’s old any more? Who knows? The basic delineation is email. Can they open them, read them and respond? My parents can’t. They try, but just can’t. They are not one of the 80 year olds that get it. But I found a great solution - MyCelery. This device is a state of the art color fax machine. Friends and family email them at their mycelery.com account. The phone rings and tells them they are getting an email . . . over their fax. It prints out the email and the pictures. If they want to respond, they hand write the email with the persons name at the top. The software recognizes the email address and emails the person the handwritten note back . . . as an email. My parents love letters. They print out emails now (when they can figure it out) and reread those emails over and over.
So - all the grand kids are ready to email their grand parents at least once a week with a photo or two, so are the kids. We are really excited to keep the generations connected with this device. With a great grandchildren here, we will keep the photos and emails coming.
Here is a video demonstrating the product.
