This is a guest post.
Thanks goodness for the internet. I mean,
I’m 42 years old now so I know I should definitely vividly remember a
time when we didn’t have it. And I do, I really do. And trust me, there
are definitely some things that drive me crazy about us having the
internet. My kids attention spans for one. I feel like they constantly
need some sort of “device” in their hands at all times. And apparently
there’s this new thing that is making their attention spans even
shorter. There’s a new app or program where they make little ten second
videos. These kids are crazy nowadays. Wait, that makes my sound old,
never mind.
But
man oh man there are things that the internet makes a whole lot easier.
And recently I can tell you as I look for a retirement community here
in Florida or a Florida CCRC as they are called in the industry, I am loving the internet. There are more senior retirement communities with more senior retirement activities
here in South Florida than you can shake a stick at. Without the
internet and reviews and websites like Yelp how would you determine
where to park your folks? What, the Yellow Pages? Yeah, right.
Anyways,
after a few long hours of reading reviews and checking scores, talking
to administrators, etc. I quickly narrowed the pool of possibilities for
the folks down to a few awesome CCRC’s. I’ve quickly made some
appointments for next weekend and I’m dragging the parents down there to
check them out. I can’ imagine how long this process would take with
being abe to do tons of research online before visiting. Yes, I can
remember a time before the internet, but in this particular case thank
you internet.
