Cable TV, social media, words of wisdom and a terrific coffee shop

Oops…forget that last one!

Raise a hand if you believe it’s technologically impossible to use local cable TV channels to deliver social media to the elderly and isolated.

  Many do not use computers or the internet; their entertainment is television. Cable TV can instantly deliver emails and pictures from relatives, friends and loved ones. TIP: Your elected city officials regulate cable television service, which gives them power to demand that available channels be used to deliver public services.
