The other night I screwed up life for my 4-year old son, Charlie, by forgetting to tune into a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving on TV.  And I forgot to DVR it . . .double trouble.   But, because it’s 2010 and not 1974, I was able to pull it up on online where Comcast’s Fancast online on-demand product saved me.

Makes me think about senior housing and services.  And how it will continue to evolve in an on-demand world to meet people’s wants and needs via technology and other innovation.  Five years ago, we didn’t have GE QuietCare or HealthSense in any of our housing communities.  One year ago we didn’t have EcumenConnects, a residential social networking community.  The products didn’t exist.  Charlie Brown’s Thanksgiving is every bit as good today as it was in 1974, but the viewing experience is a whole different ballgame.  No doubt in today’s on-demand world that the channels are going to continue changing rapidly in senior services.
