There is some exciting news for older adults who are less than savvy on the net. According to a national publication Google is launching “The Google” to help older adults surf the World Wide Intarwebs. Here is a quote from the story:

The Google will have all the same information currently found on regular Google, but with the added features of not stealing your credit-card numbers or giving your computer all kinds of viruses,” said Rick Tillich, The Google project director. “All you have to do to turn the website on is put the little blinking line thing in the cyberspace window at the top of the screen, type thegoogle.com, and press return–although it will also recognize http.wwwthegoogle.com, google.aol, and THEGOOGLE typed into a Word document.”

Ha ha ha…ok, so the “national publication” this story came from is The Onion (a fake newspaper), but seriously, Google might be able to make some money with something like “The Google.” Read the whole story here.

Happy Friday, have a good weekend!
