Smiles, Tears, and Laughter

Over the last few weeks, Net Buddies has been doing regular demonstrations for Seniors living in Assisted Care Facilities. This experience has greatly reinforced my belief that Senior's lives can be greatly enhanced through the technology and expertise that Net Buddies provides.

I have seen several Seniors cry at just the thought of having a video phone call with distant family.
I have seen one Senior cry when I took her "flying" via Google Earth to see her Childhood home.
I have seen many smiles on their faces when I video phone call my own son, grandson, and family pets.
I have seen sparks of excitement at the prospect of shopping at stores that they will likely never set foot in.
I have seen laughter at the glitches of technology and the funny videos on "You-Tube".

All these tears can turn to Happy Tears as they reconnect with Family and Friends with their own Video Phone Call, or spend an hour playing or shopping on the net. All it takes is a phone call to NET BUDDIES!!!

Call today to provide a gift of Joy, Laughter and Happy Tears to the Senior in your life!

The Seeds That Spawned NET BUDDIES!

As a parent, I have always believed that my primary job was to help my children grown into responsible and independent adults. I remember the smiles and pride that accompanied each step of their progress toward this goal. And then, one day all 3 of my children were adults....and they started leaving the nest. I was thrilled to see that they had all achieved my goal for them, but then: THEY LEFT THE NEST!!! Not only did they leave my home, but they all moved quite a distance away, leaving me with just telephone calls and bi-annual visits home. That is when I first discovered the power of the computer and the joy of email! It provided me with daily communication with my children, without the cost of long distance (and international) phone calls.

My discovery of Facebook followed within a year or so. I was absolutely amazed by the power of this social network site! With one click I could see what was going on in my children's lives. I saw what their friends were saying, read their posts that indicated that they were dealing with personal challenges (and might need some "MOM" help), and I felt involved and informed.

Then, in 2007 my first grandchild was born! It was a wonderful and joyous time, except that she was in Denver Colorado, and I was in Chatham. BOO!! Although I was fortunate enough to have a visit every 4-6 months, that just wasn't enough! I worried that my little granddaughter would never really know me, or recognize my face or voice.

Again, Facebook came to my rescue. My wonderful Daughter-in-law was so reliable in posting new pictures of the baby on Facebook very frequently. With these pictures I was able to follow her growth closely, and I saw the daily and weekly changes. I didn't have to settle for every 6 month photos mailed by snail mail! I got to see her instantly with the click on Facebook. And, I could save, print and share all of the photos that were online. It was a Godsend to this Grandma. I still remember the excitement I felt every time I opened Facebook to discover new pictures. Joy. Pure Joy!!

This is when I started to think about all the people that don't have access to a computer, or the knowledge of how to use a computer, or the money to invest in the machinery and internet connection! Why should these people be denied the joy that I have every day connecting with my friends and family instantly online? They shouldn't!!!

NOW THEY DON'T HAVE TO! With NET BUDDIES all the barriers are broken down and everyone can enjoy all that the internet has to offer!
Contact us soon and see what we can do to help your loved one! I promise, it will make them smile for a long time!!!
