AGING & DISABILITY TECHNOLOGY SUMMIT

.
.---I spoke and demonstrated my blogs at the Summit...though I am not in the video. Through affiliation with Marie Jobling and the Community Living Campaign we have a few refurbished laptop computers that are available to residents of Laguna Honda Hospital, ONLY. The resident must fit the criteria to qualify. We are trying to establish a connection with the time bank...where one ''buys'' and ''pays'' for a laptop by sharing his/her skill in an area that he is profiscient. Each hour ''served'' brings a resident a unit closer to owning his own computer. There are 24 hours or units of service to buy a laptop at present.

The price we pay for loneliness - CLICK
---The link pertains to our look at loneliness and it being more of a problem than was thought originally. The computer is a great and easy answer to the terrible bouts that many fight with loneliness. Remember that the computer can be your friend or a frightening piece of technology. It really depends on YOU. Get someone to help you make friends with it. It is easier than you might think and well-worth the effort. You may find some kind of answer that is good for you.

Mission Statement of blog

To increase the savvy of ALL individuals in the healing field. To help make people realize that when one increases his own knowledge and wisdom he does a very good thing for his own health and wellbeing. An increase in his personhood automatically improves one's ability to recover and feel good...again. I firmly believe that when all is said and done we will find that one's attitude weighs heavily on how he does and the illnesses that he finds himself with.
Ones mind + outlook, I believe, has a greater role in ones physical wellbeing than is usually given credit. In short - if the attitude, savvy and outlook of the patient increases...than the patient improves accordingly.
