Online and Internet is absolutely a Great Asset to older retired individuals. Usually, a lot of time exists when one can get on the Internet, search, read, lookup, etc. etc. etc.
and it keeps the 'old gray matter' moving around in the brain.
A lot can be learned just by surfing the net.

It is an ADDICTION!
