As I wrote about in my blog post on May 2, Presto is creating a “virtual community” around the topic of family communications and how families are redefining the way they share their lives, conversations and information. In my dual roles as CEO of Presto Services, and Chairman of the Aging Technology Alliance, I come across a lot of great articles that have to do with families and how they are evolving in the ways that they interact and consume information. Occasionally, I will list the best of those articles and post them in this series. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
