Online Oxygen

TRENDWATCHING.com wrote about what they call "Online Oxygen" here, and it will resonate with all of those who crave ubiquitous online access:

Just consider the fact that these days, consumers don't want online access anywhere/anytime, they absolutely CRAVE it! From airports to living rooms to roof gardens to classrooms to city parks, people go to great lengths to get a dose of what TRENDWATCHING.COM has dubbed ONLINE OXYGEN. Seven years after the first web sites started popping up, and email made its way from science labs to office desks and living rooms, 600 million consumers worldwide are beginning to see online access as an absolute necessity, and there are no signs that the pace of integrating online access into daily life is slowing down.

Assistive Technology (AT) like that offered by SimplyHome levers this trend-- our system sends real-time alerts & notifications to caregivers via what we call "the electronic tether." The alerts & notifications are emails, cell phone text messages and/or automated voice calls, and we rely on an increasingly connected world.
