Pressezitat
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)
