Yes, it sounds a little funny, but it's the truth. We've discovered that many of our website visitors (age 55+) are actually accessing the site using iPads or Android Tablets.

Unlike the old days of desktop computers where Seniors quickly gave up using such a complicated piece of technology, now Seniors have started to become a little more technologically advanced. Why? Because tablets were designed to be easy to use (even my 3 year old navigates it better than me).
