elderly

Eighty years is a long time to wait, but for Ann Colagiovanni, the wait was worth it. This 97-year-old grandma’s road to a diploma spans eight decades and is simultaneously incredibly sad and utterly heartwarming.

We’ve all heard the stories of elderly drivers with poor vision who drive through the front of stores or hit pedestrians — just watch South Park. If you’re one of those people who are freaked out by these often times urban legends, a new study from the University of Michigan might freak you out even more. Apparently, for the first time there are more older drivers on the road than younger drivers.

If your grandmother has recently friended you on Facebook or followed you on Twitter, you’re not alone. The website myvouchercodes.co.uk recently conducted a survey in which it asked people over 60 about their social media habits. It yielded some interesting results.

You know how full of rage you get when your favorite website is down or when your Internet connection is acting finicky? Well, imagine a country-wide outage that lasted for half a day -- all because a 75-year-old woman accidentally clipped the wrong cable.
