Baby Boomers are getting better technology designed especially for us

Such new products as the Looj, a robotic gutter cleaner, Honda's Element, and Samsung's Jitterbug, are proving older seniors are still an excellent market.

The Element features a nice senior style dashboard that's easy to see and get to. (Why can't more car companies catch on to this?)

But it didn't start out that way. Originally it was designed for younger people wearing ski gloves. Huh?

Anyway, it's working and seniors are taking notice.

And here's something else interesting that's happening.

Companies are still trying to cater to us. We haven't lost it yet. They've been trying to get us to buy things since we were in the cradle because, after all, we were the first television generation.

But I think that's smart marketing because according to marketing experts, we've been green for a long time (as in cash green) and we will continue to have plenty of money to spend.
