New Internet Technologies Enable the Aging to Have a Voice.

The collective voice of the WWW has been dominated by commercial enterprises and by tech heads with enough savvy to understand the procedures to create web pages. The real wealth of art and knowledge is still contained within the hearts and minds of individuals through-out the world. Very possibly the greatest un-tapped resources are contained within our aging society members.

"I re-counted to my wife on a recent road-trip how in 1935 my parents traveled from San Francisco to Oregon to elope. I can't remember the name of the town a lot of the details are gone forever. Most remembered is the sparkle in my mom's eyes as she recalled how the local town folks hosted a chivaree for them. The townsfolk stole the sheets from my parents bungalow and banged on pots and pans outside their room. As the magic of their romance/marriage would have it they went back on their 60th anniversary to re-live their memories."

"The sad part is that the greater details of their wedding are lost forever the details were lost when my parents both passed during the last decade."

As the web skills of the casual Internet user progress. Web developers have worked hard to bridge the technology gap by making web applications more human friendly.

"Harte Communications" new web portal "The Kewl Blogging Community" http://kewl.us/ is hoping their new technologies will bring out those Internet challenged users and capture for the web the content contained within them.

The Kewl Blogging Community offers members an extremely easy interface for posting to their Personal Blogs, E-mail, and the Use-net with one gigabyte of storage which is enough to chronicle one's entire life. All at no charge.

"Our users are encouraged to post their thoughts, and share their lives. We really want to urge people to take the next step in their web experience," said John Singewald concept designer of the Kewl Blogging Community. "I believe that each person who takes from the net should give back to the net. There is an abundance of wisdom, knowledge, history, and art contained within these casual users."

Posting at kewl.us to a blog is as easy as sending or receiving e-mail. Today we have the tools so every voice can be heard and every story told. Even those precious stories written in the hearts of our aging parents.
