Welcome to the RetirementHomes.com February 2009 Newsletter which promises to be a learning affair.
Lifelong learning is a big item today. No longer the idea of graduating from high school or university and settling down into a long-term job. It's clear that many people will change jobs and careers countless times in a lifetime. Times change, and with greater volatility, as witnessed by an unforeseen economic downturn. The prospect of learning a new set of skills is on the horizon for many especially in the manufacturing area. Still employed? It's imperative to keep learning to stay competitive -- lifelong learning.
A new trend in preventing the onset of Alzheimer’s is keeping the mind active with crossword puzzles, Sudoku, and video games. Again, the concept of lifelong learning prevails. Like any human tissue the brain needs to be kept active.
February - the shortest month of the year - is also a month to maintain the quest for learning and knowledge. Here's a quick peek at the latest RetirementHomes.com Newsletter.
. Desire versus outcome - you can't always get what you want: An article about the inevitabilities of the aging process that could be foreseen and managed through the proper use of technology. From our newest contributor, Laurie Orlov.

. Pardon me? - Although fascination with loud music, motorcycles, ATVs and powerboats, may have damaged the hearing of Boomers, there’s good news too: digital technology of hearing aids and even the prospects of a bionic ear. From Klaus Rohrich, RetirementHomes.com’s Mr. Maturity.
