From the reviews:
“This book offers phenomenal insights into the historical development and forces that have driven the path of technology maturity. … The book has applicability to both undergraduate and graduate studies. … Hospital administrators, nursing home staff, providers of home care, and a host of others working with the aging population would find that the book stimulates their thinking on incorporating technology into their environments. … In particular software and gaming developers should eye the material as a field ripe for harvest.” (Ronald L. Wade, Texas Public Health Journal, Vol. 65 (4), 2013)Editors and Affiliations
