It's all about family time

A worldwide study released today “It's a Family Affair: the Media Evolution of Global Families in a Digital Age,” by Yahoo and OMD found many interesting points including the fact that families are “harnessing pervasive technology and media to help them manage busy households and achieve more balanced, satisfying lives.” According to the study about 70% of those surveyed “agreed that technology allows them to stay in touch with family.” This is especially true for those who live hectic lifestyles and need technology in order to manage their daily responsibilities---including caregiving.

As we’ve said before, we are all caregivers --- whether it is for our parents, our children, our friends, or ourselves. We are all caregivers.

The study also found that, on average, we tend to pack into a 24 hour day, 43 hours worth of activities (talk about multi-tasking!). But consider this… how many of you actually just sit down and do just one thing? For instance, while working/doing homework, don’t you also have the tv or radio on in the background? While commuting to/from work, how many of us are also talking on the phone making last minute appointments or checking in on our loved ones?

We are definitely a culture of multi-taskers! And CareTALK is going to help you manage all your responsibilities efficiently (and help with the multi-tasking)--- leveraging the newest technologies ( and our partners).
