[quote=Anonymous]Let’s talk about the sandwich generation and digitally monitoring our children, but also digitally monitoring our elderly parents. Spent some time with my 80+ dad this weekend and I am realizing how more susceptible he is to so many bad things on the Internet, not content but advertising. And whereas my kids have controls on devices that they can’t spend money without my permission, my dad has hundreds of thousands of dollars and people ***constantly*** advertising to him. He can’t read an email without being marketed to. His email service includes an in-line ad that looks like an unread email. He kept clicking it. I could put this under aging parents (or whatever that forum is called).. but thought this discussion might be more general about tech companies, ads. (Shrug, I don’t know - move it there if you want to)[/quote]
