Tomorrow
is Today
Many,
many years ago I sat in a neighbor's
house transfixed by the cover of the
latest edition of an automotive magazine.
On that cover was an illustration of
a sleek car traveling driverless down
the highway. The article stated
that in the near future you would be
able to get into your car, program the
destination and sit in the back enjoying
a piping hot cup of Joe. We couldn't
wait to be driven to school in one of
these neat cars. Of course, we also
thought that our friend's parents were
digging to China, when the hole was
dug for their swimming pool. Suffice
it to say, by the time we entered second
grade, neither of the above mentioned
acts came to pass. No chinese hole and
no driverless car.
Even
though we may not have our driverless
cars yet, (although that would be the
answer for a lot of sleepless nights
for many of us), we may look back on
this year as the one where technology
started to play a significant role in
the lives of caregivers around the world.
Terms like Smart Home, Robot Caregivers,
PERS, Remote Home Monitoring and Telemedicine
already have meaning for caregivers.
There are even Smart Toilets, but that
could be the subject for another day.
We are
so excited about the advent of this
supportive technology that we have launched
a channel dedicated to it, a channel
we interestingly enough call the
Technology
Channel. Join us
as we keep a lookout for the latest
and greatest innovations of importance
to caregivers everywhere. Sorry to run,
but my car just told me it is time to
go to work.
Sincerely,
Gary
Barg
