The Internet is Not Just for Teenagers

In an age where Facebook's population outnumbers the US population - it is apparent that the Internet is growing rapidly to include the 50+ user. It's important to understand that the Internet is not only community-specific for the younger generation, but also provides wonderful resources for the "mature" population as well. Sites that give tips on how to retire to tips on dating after divorce are all available at the click of a mouse. But to make it even easier for you to access the best of these sites, we've compiled a group of links for you to get started.


http://www.fifty-plus.net/ : This website is a great resource for lifestyle, money, and travel tips - 50+ also has a great Facebook page you can become a fan of to get the website's latest updates.


http://www.aarp.org/ : A great site with in-depth articles about caregiving, Social Security, and life after retirement. AARP also has an extensive "Relationship" section as well.

http://seniors-site.com/ : A blog site with interesting articles on how to take care of oneself after surgery and dietary tips.


http://www.eons.com/ : Eons is similar to Facebook but offers activities specifically for the "boomer" age set with discussion groups and games such as Sudoku.

Video channels are also a great way to learn new lifestyle tips. Here is a playlist of at-home exercises you can do to keep healthy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8aTEjHB1GI&feature=PlayList&p=F77712337A2453DB&playnext=1&index=16
