Internet for Elderly

Government: -So how do we solve the problem of depression in elderly?

Me: -I have an idea! We should teach them to use INTERNET.

Government: -But they can't use computers. They are old!

Me: -Yes they can. And every year there are more and more elderly who can.

Government: -But what would be the benefit?

Me: -Well, they can make new friends, keep up with news, play games, learn about their medical problems, share their wisdom, share their memories, build family trees and even earn money.

Government: -Hm, but they will not pay for it.

Me: -I think medicare should pay for it. It will be covered by skipping a single visit to a psychiatrist.
