Our aging population, which is currently estimated at 20,000 a day turning 65, is an astounding statistic. This population is quickly becoming the majority and will be seeking to provide comfort and insurance for their families.
The elderly population also has disabilities that can interfere with their day to day activities, however only 2% of American adults say they have a disability or illness that makes it harder or impossible for them to use the internet. This provides a great outlet for those who cant take advantage of what others take for granted. Most of those who have the added insurance and ability to work from home can at least turn to the web for a source of income.
