Games to Keep the Brain Fit, Part I

I think if older adults learn simple phone texting, how to surf the internet, or just do email, –learning and using these new skills will help them to exercise their brain. And also, help them to keep in touch with their children and grandchildren. Your site has many great posts for gadgets that make it easier for seniors to do this. Thank you for that!

My daughters bought me a Nintendo a few yrs ago after I had had a stroke. My first game was the Dog Game but then one daughter bought me Brain Age II and I was hooked. It has really helped with the speed of my thinking and processing. I make ‘playing’ on it a priority everyday for just an hour.

Stephen,

I find your post, as a matter of fact, quite offensive. To suggest that old people, such as you, I, and the Queen, only consider the latest technology brought to us by the good folks who patrol the information superhighway as “gizmos” and “gadgets” meant to sit on shelves collecting dust is to be a self-important troglodyte with its head in the sand! We should only be so fortunate that there exists in the world a blog so pure and informative as eldersgadget.com to inform us eldgers of such wondrous new activity!
