Have We Lost Our Natural Habitat Through Technology?

June 23, 2010 - PRLog -- I believe we are moving in the wrong direction in how we integrate multiple generations. We should structure our communities similar to how the Jews have done it where the older ones look over the youngsters while mommy and daddy go out and hunt the bread.  In this manner young children can acquire great knowledge and wisdom that is supposed to be handed down that usually get lost or forgotten in modern parents busy work schedule.  

In return seniors can have the same support which could prevent or lower the amount of fatalities and injures usually associated with major falls and heart attacks due to lack of multiple source of supervision.  I also believe that no one can really love and care for the people who are most special to us; so why do we continue to place their care in the hands of strangers who do not share the same interest?  Do not get me wrong, there are plenty of active senior citizen communities out there that are better than the traditional nursing homes, but we need our seniors in our lives just the same as how they need us and their grand children.  Next time you go looking for a home in a community, make sure they offer integrated multi-generational living as an amenity.  Neil Campbell Architecture LLC
