OC Photographer Launches New Book To Help Baby Boomers Navigate the Digital World
Tustin, CA (PRWEB) August 8, 2008 -- According to a recent Simmons Market Research Study, the nation's 78 million baby boomers are being overwhelmed by an avalanche of increasingly intimidating high-tech gadgets. And, with more and more of them becoming empty-nesters as they age, the youngest of whom turned 44 this year, they can no longer rely on their tech-savvy Gen X or Y children for help.

? How to take pictures like a pro.

New Research: Seven In Ten Baby Boomers Now Less Confident Their Retirement Savings Will Last
Despite deteriorating confidence, very few plan to change retirement savings.
Seniors Connected, a Nationwide Network of City, County, State and National Web Sites Designed for the Seniors Demographic, has Just Launched
Along with having a unique arena for the exchange and communication of information at the national, state, county and city levels, seniors can research subjects encompassing virtually every interest and concern they may have. In addition, there is a calendar of events, a private section for seniors to organize their own personal lives, a section for Seniors oriented organizations to establish their own presence and dozens of additional features. Along with the Nnational site, UnitedStatesSeniors.com, this network will encompass over two thousand towns, cities, counties and states when fully deployed over the next 12-18 months.
Senior Citizen Discounts: Not Advertised, Still Worth Considering
It seems senior citizens can find discounts almost everywhere - at a travel desk, restaurant, hotels, banks, theaters, parks, museums, etc all offer senior citizen discounts. However, in most cases, you won't see or hear about such discounts until you ask about such discounts at the counter. Sometimes the waitress at the restaurant may spot you as a senior citizen and give you a discount, but in most cases, you need to ask. It pays to ask, as you will find discounts 5% to 50%. If there are discounts of 10% or more for senior citizens, they are usually advertised and widely publicized.
Can Our Economy And Health Care System Survive Aging Baby Boomers?
The generation of people born between the years of 1940 and 1960 are expected to have major effects on health and social service systems. By the year 2030, about one out of every five Americans, or 20% of our population, will be a senior citizen in the United States. In other countries such as Japan, Germany, Sweden and the United Kingdom, senior citizens are even greater in number.
