This topic is actually the need of most seniors who are living alone. If they have the technology and most have the smart phone so I guess there is no hindrance to be connected with people that you love.
Living alone is no joke. Psychologists say that an old person who is alone in the home would have a higher probability of getting depression. But when connected to people, especially to relatives, that would be a virtual connection which can alleviate the loneliness. Maybe I can agree with that because I am in contact with my relatives and close friends who are living abroad. It is like there is no distance separating us. Loneliness is far-fetched with the use of technology particularly social media.
