@KateBMwriting They don't. They get left behind in an ever-increasingly digital world. And it's not just older people; it's individuals who can't afford devices, home internet, data, etc. It sucks. The Digital Divide is no joke and it has enormous repercussions for our society.

An elderly neighbour of ours lost her dog tragically this summer. He was only 3 and apparently had a heart problem that went unnoticed. Since July, every time I see her when I have the dog, she's teared up. Today, she's outside playing with her new puppy in the rain.
