A Mother, a Son, and an iPad
18,487 views
Joshua Seftel is an award-winning filmmaker who has worked on many high-profile film, TV, and radio shows. This video is about a much smaller, much more personal project. Joshua originally bought his mom an iPad to stay in better touch with her after his father passed away last year. Once they began chatting regularly, he quickly realized their talks were something special. And he began filming them so that others could share in the experience. Thus, a web series was born.

Great example of how technology can bring meaning to elederly people, who are so often made to feel dumb and useless because they fear and have a hard time catching on to technology. Society must find a way to give the elderly an easier access and encouragement to use ths kind of technology!
