As our population ages and life expectancy increases, many families find themselves busy with children's activities, juggling demanding careers, AND caring for aging parents.
This so called "sandwich generation" is the largest population ever to be faced with the dual responsibility of caring for their children and parents at the same time.
The number and diverse range of those turning to the Internet for help has resulted in an unprecedented demand for cyber solutions by these computer savvy baby boomers.
Many however, have discovered that searching for useful information is much more difficult than expected.
Regardless of Internet experience, those suddenly forced to handle a potential elder care crisis may find themselves ill-equipped and the web an exhausting place.
