This trend of seniors turning to the Internet for companionship is a good thing. It demonstrates that our need for intimacy and connection remains with us.  It shows the younger generation that life doesn’t just go on after 60 but that you can live a life that is not all that different than the one you do currently.  It shows us that there is no need to fear aging. It can be embraced and accepted because it is not extraordinary.
