Step Away From The Computer, Kids: Baby Boomers Embrace Social Media

Overview: “Advertisers may see the Web and all its iterations--from online video to casual games and social networking--as an ideal channel for reaching young adult consumer, but new data from the AARP and the Center for the Digital Future at the USC Annenberg School for Communication shows that Americans over age 50 are also Web 2.0 denizens. And sometimes they even use the Web more than their younger, more tech-savvy counterparts.”

AARP report disputes 'boomer myths'

Washington Times
April 16, 2008

Overview: “Baby boomers are not a bunch of annoying, self-absorbed, aging hippies with too much money and a penchant to call attention to themselves. Really. So says a report released yesterday by AARP meant to dispel persistent ‘boomer myths’ about the 77 million Americans born between 1946 and 1964.”

I love to walk. It's refreshing and allows me the time to really think. So I decided to try these weighted shoes from fitandsharp.com

As an avid walker, I soon noticed a few differences in my steps. My heart rate was higher, my feet were comfortable even after a few miles and I began to lose weight more quickly then before. Just wanted to share. Feel free to let me know what products you recommend.
