It is truly a golden age for seniors on the Internet! Many
resources, both fun and informative, have opened up a world
of information for seniors. The Internet can be great place
to stay in touch with family members, learn about health
issues and communicate with others.
From Senior
Living Newspaper and Grand
Times, there many on-line magazines. Browse through
Maturity USA Magazine
and Senior Lifestyle
Magazine for the latest news.
To monitor your health, several government agencies have
put up wonderful, informative web sites such as Office
On Aging that have informative articles like Don't
Take It Easy Exercise! and Hearing
and Older People. Other health sites include Alzheimer
Disease Education, Oncolink
Cancer News and
For retirement information in the US, the Social
Security Administration can be helpful along with the
Medicare FAQ.
Or if you are still job hunting, Silver
Foxes and Senior
Citizens Job Bureau (Canada) are willing to help out!
Travel is always fun at any age, but Elderhostel

are worth exploring, along with our own Travel
Beat.
As you can see, we are just scratching the surface of what
