An Article or an Ad?

While this article was really cool and fun to read about, it felt more like an add than an actual article. The article talks about different ways technology can be adapted so that it is "elderly friendly." According to the article more and more elderly folk are starting to use technology. Yet instead of saying how that trend came about or what this could mean, we just got a list of elderly targeted technology products. There wasn't even a single quote or source in the article!

In my opinion this was a terrible waste of newspaper space. Unless the author was bribed by the products mentioned in the article then it really should not have ran in the paper. Might as well use that space for an actual add.
